Public release date: 18-Apr-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Mike Wolterbeek mwolterbeek@unr.edu University of Nevada, Reno RENO, Nev. The nation's leading scientists and clinicians exploring treatment breakthroughs for congenital muscular dystrophy will convene April 22-24 on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno, where research by Dean Burkin has led to a potential therapy. At the Myomatrix 2012 conference, experts will share their latest data and findings both published and soon to be published research seeking ways to build on recent progress. Burkin, a pharmacological researcher and faculty member at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, will present his work on laminin-111, a naturally occurring protein showing promise as a therapy for muscular dystrophy. Burkin's published research showed this protein is quickly picked up in the bloodstream of mice and prevents muscle damage. Initially shown to be an important finding for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, Burkin's continued research, recently published in the American Journal of Pathology, shows laminin-111 to also be an effective protein substitution therapy for congenital muscular dystrophy in mice. The University of Nevada, Reno's Tech Transfer Office has licensed the patent for laminin-111 to Prothelia, a Boston … Continue reading
