CHEMICALLY MODIFIED OLIGONUCLEOTIDES FOR RNA EDITING
The invention relates to single-stranded RNA editing antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) for binding to a target RNA molecule for deaminating a target nucleotide, preferably an adenosine, present in the target RNA molecule and recruiting, in a cell, preferably a human cell, an enzyme with nucleotide deamination activity, preferably an ADAR enzyme, to deaminate the target nucleotide in the target RNA molecule. The AONs carry at least one methylphosphonate-modified internucleosidic linkage on a position that would render the AON more stable in comparison to an AON not carrying that methylphosphonate modification at that position.
OLIGONUCLEOTIDES FOR SYNGR-3 MODULATION
This disclosure relates to novel SYNGR-3 targeting sequences. Novel SYNGR-3 targeting oligonucleotides for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases are also provided.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF TREATING FACIOSCAPULOHUMERAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Disclosed herein are polynucleic acid molecules, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for treating facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITING KETOHEXOKINASE (KHK)
Oligonucleotides are provided herein that inhibit KHK expression. Also provided are compositions including the same and uses thereof, particularly uses relating to treating diseases, disorders and/or conditions associated with KHK expression.
MODIFIED IMMUNE CELLS HAVING ADENOSINE DEAMINASE BASE EDITORS FOR MODIFYING A NUCLEOBASE IN A TARGET SEQUENCE
The present invention features genetically modified immune cells comprising novel adenosine base editors (e.g., ABE8) having enhanced anti-neoplasia activity, resistance to immune suppression, and decreased risk of eliciting a graft-versus-host reaction or host-versus-graft reaction, or a combination thereof. The present invention also features methods for producing and using these modified immune effector cells.
RNAi CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITING LPA EXPRESSION
The present invention relates to RNAi constructs for reducing expression of the LPA gene, which encodes apolipoprotein(a), a component of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) particles. Methods of using such RNAi constructs to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction, and to reduce serum Lp(a) levels are also described.
Modified guide RNAs
This disclosure relates to modified single and dual guide RNAs having improved in vitro and in vivo activity in gene editing methods.
ANTISENSE OLIGOMERS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PARKIN-RELATED PATHOLOGIES
An isolated or purified antisense oligomer with a modified backbone structure for modifying pre-mRNA splicing in the parkin gene transcript or part thereof.
Thiomorpholino oligonucleotides for the treatment of muscular dystrophy
Improved compositions and methods for treating a disease or disorder through target exon skipping, and preferably muscular dystrophy by administering antisense thiomorpholino molecules capable of binding to a selected target site in the human dystrophin gene to induce exon skipping to produce a functional Dystrophin protein.
OPTIMIZED ANTI-FLT1 OLIGONUCLEOTIDE COMPOUNDS FOR TREATMENT OF PREECLAMPSIA AND OTHER ANGIOGENIC DISORDERS
This disclosure relates to novel targets for angiogenic disorders. Novel oligonucleotides are also provided. Methods of using the novel oligonucleotides for the treatment of angiogenic disorders (e.g., preeclampsia) are also provided.
