Please feel free forward to your colleagues and share the news of our journal | Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases | COVID-19 Statement The current COVID-19 crisis is affecting many lives, and also research initiatives. At the Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases (JND), we are continuing our efforts, working from home where possible, to continue assessing papers for publication to progress advances in neuromuscular research. We appreciate the time and efforts of our editors, authors, and reviewers to make this possible. It is understandable that extensions or reassignments may be needed, in which case we ask you to talk to our editorial staff. If you are self-isolating or staying at home following recommended guidelines and you are considering writing a review article within the specialty of neuromuscular diseases, then we invite you to contact the editorial team by email (jnd@iospress.com) to explore publication. We wish you all strength in these trying times and hope to see you all remain healthy as we move through this. | REVIEW ARTICLE Pseudoexons of the DMD Gene – Open Access Keegan, Niall P.
