This builds upon a previous study with PK007 with (ii) additional analyses of disease progression assessed for muscle grip strength, metabolic and locomotor activity, myonecrosis in a wide range of muscles (3 from hindlimb, diaphragm, heart, and tongue), macrophage infiltration and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and iNOS). Here, IL1B is linked to gas gangrene.
