A new animal model for studying muscular dystrophy, a mutant form of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, brings the power of worm genetics to bear on the search for a cure for this disease; work on this worm has already led to the identification of a novel component that can suppress the mutant phenotype.
一种用于研究肌肉萎缩症的新型动物模型，即线虫秀丽隐杆线虫的一种突变形式，将线虫遗传学的力量应用于寻找这种疾病的治疗方法；对这种线虫的研究已经导致鉴定出一种可以抑制突变表型的新成分。
