20 Jul Discovery Radio – Episode #51 – XLMTM: Exploring Gene Therapy in Battling Muscular Disease
It’s a rare but devastating muscular disease that afflicts children from birth. But a world-wide collaboration of doctors, including one local expert, are seeing encouraging results from an effective gene therapy they’ve developed to treat it. We continue our new segment on clinical trials. And later, we focus on the suicide burden, and efforts to prevent suicide, in our community. It’s all inside this edition of CTSI Discovery Radio!
