  "summary": "Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal, X-linked muscle-wasting disease caused by loss of dystrophin. Utrophin, a structural and functional paralogue of dystrophin, can compensate for dystrophin deficiency and represents a therapeutic target applicable to patients irrespective of their DMD mutation. However, utrophin is also naturally upregulated at the sarcolemma of regenerating…",
