]]> Comment on Restoration of dystrophin expression using the Sleeping Beauty transposon by Dominic Wells http://currents.plos.org/md/article/restoration-of-dystrophin-expression-using-the-sleeping-beauty-transposon-2/#comment-183 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:46:44 +0000 http://currents.plos.org/md/?post_type=article&p=1035#comment-183 Our study was a proof-of-concept study to determine if we could use the Sleeping Beauty transposon system to stably integrate dystrophin into the genome of dystrophin deficient myoblasts. Therefore it was more important for us to confirm expression of the micro-dystrophin gene in vivo rather than transplantation efficiency. In theory the Sleeping Beauty system can be used as a non-viral integrating vector for DMD cell based therapies, however further research is required to improve the efficiency of cell based therapies so that systemic correction of the DMD gene can be achieved.

]]> Comment on Dysferlin-deficient immortalized human myoblasts and myotubes as a useful tool to study dysferlinopathy by Narayana Rao http://currents.plos.org/md/article/dysferlin-deficient-immortalized-human-qonfe5xowirq-1/#comment-3 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 07:29:56 +0000 http://currents.plos.org/md/article/dysferlin-deficient-immortalized-human-qonfe5xowirq-1/#comment-3 Added the paper to a Knol Collection – Reference – Research Category – New Knols — http://knol.google.com/k/-/-/2utb2lsm2k7a/5941You can add categories Research, Reference and Science in the category box. That would result in knol appearing in more Knol searches.Thank you
