MD Center faculty, Dr. Darko Bosnakovski and Dr. Michael Kyba, found a potential new therapeutic approach to protect and repair muscles in FSHD. Certain enzymes called MMPs, are overactive in FSHD, worsening muscle damage. When these enzymes are inactivated, FSHD mice have reduced inflammation and scarring.
