Disease_model_descriptionTreatment of a Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) worm model LS587 (dys-1(cx18) I; hlh-1(cc561) II) with unc-68 (ryanodine receptor (RyR)) RNAi prevents excess cytosolic calcium accumulation, which results in rescue of the muscle damage phenotype. These results highlight cytosolic calcium influx as a key intermediary step in the muscle damage caused by mitochondrial dysfunction.
