Re: Welcome to the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Project

Hello keiko01,
Glad to help and can't wait to start or did the project start already?

This is explained at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=10647 in the Member News.
This project is slightly different than most of our other projects in that what we are launching is only Phase 1 of a larger project. We anticipate that Phase 1 will run for approximately 2 months. Then the researchers will examine the results in preparation for running Phase 2, which will run for a significantly longer period of time. Early estimates are that Phase 2 may start around August of 2007. Because Phase 1 runs for such a short time, we did not expend the resources required to run the project on both the UD and BOINC platforms. Thus, we are running Phase 1 using only the UD agent and will run Phase 2 on UD and BOINC.

Re: Welcome to the Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy Project

This post: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=12168#89317 links to an article explaining the differences of several muscle function diseases like the one Stephen Hawkins suffers (ALS) and MS & MD.
