Muscles are damaged all of the time, as we stretch and contract them, but we don't fully understand how they repair themselves. We are studying the molecular steps taken by a muscle cell to repair membrane damage. Our research will provide valuable insights into how to treat muscular dystrophy and other conditions characterised by membrane damage to cells, such as heart attack and stroke.

当我们拉伸和收缩肌肉时，肌肉一直在受损，但我们并不完全了解它们是如何自我修复的。我们正在研究肌肉细胞修复膜损伤所采取的分子步骤。我们的研究将为如何治疗肌肉萎缩症和其他以细胞膜损伤为特征的疾病，如心脏病发作和中风，提供有价值的见解。
