Drosophila as a starting point for developing therapeutics for the rare disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Progress into developing therapeutics for rare diseases can be accelerated for those diseases that can be modeled in genetically tractable organisms. Here we comment on one disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), modeled in Drosophila that brought together disparate lines of research toward the...
