disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) has changed dramatically. 10 years ago there were no clinical trials available and patients who had the fatal disease were unlikely to reach their early twenties. Today there are over 10 clinical trials looking into DMD in Newcastle and the world leading John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre has been at the forefront of these research developments. </p> <p> </p> <p>In these case studies; Lawrence, Pascal and Linda Johnston talk about taking part in research studies and Dr Michela Guglieri discusses her role and the advancements that have been made in the field of DMD research.</p> <p> </p> <p>To read the full case study, download the PDFs on the right hand side of the screen.</p> <p><br /><br /></p> <span class="image-right"></span> <div
