CMD Preclinical research
Mouse models for CMD
In preparation for the first CMD Therapeutic Target Conference in July 2009 organized by Drs. Carsten Bonnemann and Anne Rutkowski (Cure CMD), an animal model working group pulled together preliminary data for one of the conference focus areas: CMD animal models. This list represents the existing CMD animal models as of July 2009 with several recently made animal models soon to be published. The 2 1/2 day conference funded by NINDS, NIAMS, ORD, Cure CMD, MDA, Debiopharm and PTC Therapeutics brought together an international group of scientists and clinicians to discuss CMD pathophysiology and targets.
