Dystrophin glycoprotein complex structure and assembly

Researchers have discovered that adaptive regularization of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex in muscle cells, which acts as a scaffold for the elongation of muscle tissue, results in an improved single-particle cryo-EM reconstruction of muscle cells. The structure of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex has been shown to be important in the expression of sarcospanins that drive the elongation of muscle tissue.
