Mutant proteins linked to DNA damage, muscular dystrophy

New Cornell-led research has found a strong connection between DNA damage triggered by mutations in proteins that surround the cell nucleus, known as lamins, and muscular dystrophy. By exploring the mechanisms that cause the damage, the researchers are hopeful their discovery can help shape better treatments. The team’s paper, “Mutant Lamins Cause Nuclear Envelope Rupture...
