Research
- *New treatment strategies to prevent bone growth impairment and osteoporosis
in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy *
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a lethal muscle disease and is the most common
type of muscular dystrophy in childhood. Besides immobility these patients
often suffer from persistent growth retardation and osteoporosis with
fractures. I study the complex pathophysiology of bone disorders in this
desease. I also use different model systems of muscular dystrophy to study
the efficacy of potential drugs to improve the bone health in these
patients.
