Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

I found this article on the New York times website. It describes an exon skipping technique as a possible treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Unfortunately the drug has not been confirmed as a viable treatment but it looks promising.

There is also a fun video included at the bottom of the page if you are interested =)
