Abstract

The intercellular adhesiveness of skin fibroblasts from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and normal controls has been measured by determining the collision efficencies of cells using the couette viscometer. The collision efficencies for dystrophic cells were significantly lower than those for normal cells (0.01 > P > 0.005), indicating that dystrophic cells are less adhesive than normal cells.
