B10-mdx Academic Reference List
The B10-mdx Academic Reference Archive provides a curated collection of scientific publications related to the B10-mdx mouse supplied by CLEA Japan.
As a widely used model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, B10-mdx carries an X-linked mutation in the Dmd gene that disrupts dystrophin production and results in repeated cycles of skeletal muscle degeneration and regeneration.
The references collected on this page cover the discovery and molecular characterization of the mdx mutation, evaluation of reliable preclinical outcome measures, and the broader use of mouse models in muscular dystrophy research. Publications are organized chronologically, allowing researchers to review the scientific development and experimental applications of this model.
For detailed information on the biological characteristics, availability, and ordering information for B10-mdx, please visit the corresponding product page.
