Spontaneous lesions are due to natural damage to DNA, where the most common are depurination and deamination. citation citation Dystrophin protein is found in muscle fibre membrane; its helical nature allows it to act like a spring or shock absorber. Source: Internet
In addition, this vector contains a novel regulatory cassette developed by Stephen Hauschka that drives expression of the dystrophin gene specifically in muscle cells. Source: Internet
