I'm not saying that Stem Cells can DEFINATLY cure DMD, But It is a theory that the stem cells can grow back any muscle that has been corroded by the DMD. And also, can't girls get DMD under a genetic mutation?

No a genetic mutation form of DMD can't be caused in girls- or maybe if one parent carries/has it/becker? Hmm... I'd actually have to look into that.

Stem cells seem too easy. If Raven ever cures Aidan it's probably gonna involve Lily in some way like how they're using Aidan to help Lily right now.

If I remember anything from biology, any man with DMD who wants to have kids biologically related to them is pretty much playing with high voltage. He doesn't know if his spouse is a carrier of DMD or not. After relearning how to make Punnett Squares, and making a few myself, I was quite in awe of the results. If the affected man and a carrier woman have kids, there's a 25% chance that they'll have an affected son or an affected daughter. But, if said man has kids with a non-carrier woman, then there's a 50% chance his daughters will be carriers, but his sons won't have the disease.

To answer your question, Katie, while DMD is more common in males, females can get the disease as well, but only if her father has the disease, which would be a pretty rare occurence.

I know I said today, but I kind of got busy with something else...
(The hospital lot I've been working on got a huge upgrade - looks tons better now  Grin)

I'll try to do the rest of the pics tomorrow, but I can't promise that the chapter will be up then. I've got a few RL things to do tomorrow that are (sadly) more urgent than LFB.  (I need a job, or I'll probably starve and lose my apartment in a couple of months... and be forced to move back home to mom)
As soon as possible, OK?

I have no question? I know almost everything about DMD- my nephew has a severe case of it... and my unborn nephew may have it as well, he still hasn't been tested. I know that it can occur in girls.

And actually, if the father has Becker MD (almost the same but those with it have some of the protein boys with DMD do not have- therefor it progresses slowly) and the mother is a carrier, then girls will most likely be effected as well (because they have no protein on one X chromosome, and very little on the other - which would normally make up for the DMD on the other X)

@ Raven

In understand, Im guessing your playing a pretty hacked sims 2 game here with tons of poseboxes and stuff. It must be a royal pain in the arse (im not english btw I just like saying that lol) to get pics to go right. In my stories in the story editor, I do it the old fashoned way with almost no poseboxes or anything, just Insim, Inteen, and a whole lotta boolprop-ing

Pics wouldn't be the same without CC. What takes time (except loading the game - half an hour or so) is making new CC myself, and decide which poses to use. Sometimes I spend hours on one picture, other times ten minutes. Oh, and story writing/editing.

That depends on how you see it, I guess...

You'll know more after the next chapter (Decided to make it a standalone chapter instead of a 2nd part. Longer than I expected it to be...).

Only have a small list of pictures left now, so if I manage to locate my motivation today, I'll try my best to finish it up inside a couple of days....
(No idea where it we... wait - it's hiding out in the hospital lot I'm currently building! *sneaks up from behind* Gotcha, little bugger! *slips away from hands* Oh, well... *takes out net and goes motivation hunting*)


on a sort of random note: I'm actually considering to start nurse training next year. A little too late to apply for school now, I guess - but I am looking for jobs that can somehow be related to it, so that I see whether or not it really is something for me. Getting a job inside the 3D business is pretty much impossible if you're not a racer in it, but I've got the basic stuff behind me, so if I continue that in my spare time I might just work up a nice portfolio one day, if I decide to give up nursing...
Makes me feel a bit like Jenna at a younger age... and if you wonder what I mean about that, you'll know more about it in a later chapter Wink
