    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Lange's laboratory investigates the development and function of heart and skeletal muscles. The research focus is centered on the identification of molecular origins and pathways that lead to the development of cardiomyopathies and muscular dystrophies. We are particularly interested how mutations in sarcomeric and muscle associated proteins lead to the development of these diseases.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
