Abstract

Glucocorticoids delay muscle wasting in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by reducing inflammation; but also have harmful side effects. Here, the authors show that Resolvin-D2 is more effective than glucocorticoids in mitigating muscular dystrophy in mouse models, due to its ability to dampen inflammation and target myogenic cells to improve muscle regeneration.
