Word of the findings, to be published in the Oct. 1 issue of the journal " Human Gene Therapy, " came in advance of the annual Jerry Lewis Labour Day weekend telethon to raise money for muscular dystrophy research. | [

Muscular dystrophy is a fatal illness in which the body's muscle tissue degenerates and is replaced by fat. | [] |
Death strikes in early adulthood. | [] |
Individuals with the disease have a non-working version of a gene responsible for producing a crucial muscle protein called dystrophin. | [] |
In the study at the University's Institute for Human Gene Therapy, researchers altered a common-cold virus to carry a version of the working dystrophin gene. | [
{
"content": "Institute for Human Gene Therapy",
"label": "ORG",
"start_index": 33
}
] |
The virus, which also was altered to minimise its susceptibility to the immune system, was then injected into the muscle cells of mice bred to lack dystrophin genes. | [] |
In the experiment, between 30 to 40 percent of the muscle fibers in one group of mice produced dystrophin for two weeks before diminishing. | [] |
Similar results had been obtained previously in test-tube cell cultures, but not in live animals, the university said. | [] |
The university said methods are still needed to make enough of the altered virus to treat humans, to further decrease the immune-system response to the virus, and to deliver the virus to human muscle tissue. | [] |
