COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING TAU EXPRESSION
Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of Tau mRNA in a cell or animal, and in certain instances reducing the amount of Tau protein in a cell or animal. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms include loss of memory, loss of motor function, and increase in the number and/or volume of neurofibrillary inclusions. Such neurodegenerative diseases include tauopathies, Alzheimer's Disease, Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD), FTDP-17, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Corticobasal Ganglionic Degeneration (CBD), Epilepsy, and Dravet's Syndrome.
MUSCLE TARGETING COMPLEXES AND USES THEREOF FOR TREATING DYSTROPHINOPATHIES
Aspects of the disclosure relate to complexes comprising a muscle-targeting agent covalently linked to a molecular payload. In some embodiments, the muscle-targeting agent specifically binds to an internalizing cell surface receptor on muscle cells. In some embodiments, the molecular payload promotes the expression or activity of a functional dystrophin protein. In some embodiments, the molecular payload is an oligonucleotide, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, e.g., an oligonucleotide that causes exon skipping in a mRNA expressed from a mutant DMD allele.
GLP-1 RECEPTOR LIGAND MOIETY CONJUGATED OLIGONUCLEOTIDES AND USES THEREOF
The present embodiments provide compounds and methods for targeting cells expressing GLP-1 receptor.
DOUBLE STRANDED NUCLEIC ACID COMPOUNDS INHIBITING ZPI
The present invention provides novel nucleic acid compound suitable for therapeutic use. Additionally, the present invention provides methods of making these compounds, as well as methods of using such compounds for the treatment of various diseases and conditions.
Compositions and methods for ordered and continuous complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis across non-continuous templates
The invention provides compositions and methods for nucleic acid synthesis, including ordered and continuous complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis across non-continuous templates using a modified eukaryotic non-long terminal repeat reverse transcriptase (non-LTR RT) protein.
Compositions and methods for ordered and continuous complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis across non-continuous templates
The invention provides compositions and methods for nucleic acid synthesis, including ordered and continuous complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis across non-continuous templates using a modified eukaryotic non-long terminal repeat reverse transcriptase (non-LTR RT) protein.
Oligomeric compounds comprising bicyclic nucleotides and uses thereof
The present invention provides oligomeric compounds. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount activity or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell.
ALLELE SPECIFIC MODULATORS OF P23H RHODOPSIN
The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions for treating, preventing, ameliorating, or slowing progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), such as autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (AdRP) by administering a P23H rhodopsin specific inhibitor to a subject. The present embodiments provided herein are directed to compounds and compositions useful for treating, preventing, ameliorating, or slowing progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), such as autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (AdRP). In certain embodiments, P23H rhodopsin inhibitors provided herein are allele-specific antisense compounds targeted to a P23H mutant allele that are capable of selectively inhibiting expression of P23H rhodopsin mutant protein to a greater extent than wild-type protein. In certain embodiments, administration of the allele specific antisense compounds in a subject having AdRP results in selective inhibition of P23H rhodopsin and allows the normal protein produced from the wild-type allele to maintain rod survival and function in the subject.
TARGETING MICRORNAS FOR METABOLIC DISORDERS
Described herein are compounds comprising modified oligonucleotides that are complementary to miR-103 and/or miR-107 and methods of treating diseases and disorders using the compounds.
Methods for use in modulating miR-122A
Methods are provided for the treatment of cardiovascular or metabolic diseases characterized by elevated serum total cholesterol, elevated serum LDL-cholesterol, or elevated serum triglycerides, through the administration of an oligomeric compound which modulates the levels or activity of miR-122a. Further provided are methods for reducing hepatic steatosis or liver tissue triglyceride accumulation through the administration of an oligomeric compound which modulates the levels or activity of miR-122a. Such methods employ oligomeric compounds which hybridize with or sterically interfere with nucleic acid molecules comprising or encoding miR-122a. Such oligomeric compounds may include one or more modifications thereon, which may improve the activity, stability, or nuclease resistance of the oligomeric compound. These modified oligomeric compounds are used as single compounds or in compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, to modulate or mimic the targeted nucleic acid comprising or encoding miR-122a.
