The invention relates to nucleic acid products that interfere with complement component C3 gene expression or inhibit its expression. The nucleic acids are preferably for use as treatment, prevention or reduction of risk of suffering from complement component C3 associated diseases, disorders or syndromes, particularly C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G), Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS), Lupus nephritis, IgA nephropathy (IgA N), Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD), Myasthenia gravis (MG), and Primary Membranous Nephropathy.

Disclosed herein are compositions and pharmaceutical formulations that comprise a binding moiety conjugated to a modified polynucleic acid molecule and a polymer. Also described herein include methods for treating a cancer which utilize a composition or a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a binding moiety conjugated to a polynucleic acid molecule and a polymer.

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.

Disclosed herein are antisense oligonucleotide sequences against fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and methods of using the same for treating bowel diseases such as colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), associated with elevated activity or expression of FMRP. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing an FMRP antisense oligonucleotide useful for treating a bowel disease and manufacture of medicaments containing a disclosed FMRP antisense oligonucleotide to be used in treating a bowel disease.

The present invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double stranded RNAi agents, targeting a xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) gene, and methods of using such double stranded RNAi agents to inhibit expression of an XDH gene and methods of treating subjects having an XDH-associated disease.

The present invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., dsRNA agents, targeting the coronavirus genome. The invention also relates to methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of a coronavirus genome and to methods of treating or preventing a coronavirus-associated disease in a subject.

The present disclosure provides methods of using a calcium oscillation assay and/or a sequence score calculation to identify a molecule that is safe for administration. The disclosure also includes a method of selecting or identifying a molecule having tolerable in vivo neurotoxicity using a calcium oscillation assay, a sequence score method, an in vivo tolerability assay, or any combination thereof.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases associated with axonal degeneration. Neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative diseases associated with axonal degeneration are treated with therapies comprising SARM1 inhibitors such as SARM1 antisense oligonucleotides.

In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for inducing a stable gene modification of a target nucleic acid via homologous recombination in a primary cell, such as a primary blood cell and/or a primary mesenchymal cell. In certain other aspects, the present invention provides methods for enriching a population of genetically modified primary cells having targeted integration at a target nucleic acid. The methods of the present invention rely on the introduction of a DNA nuclease such as a Cas polypeptide and a homologous donor adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector into the primary cell to mediate targeted integration of the target nucleic acid. Also provided herein are methods for preventing or treating a disease in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject any of the genetically modified primary cells or pharmaceutical compositions described herein to prevent the disease or ameliorate one or more symptoms of the disease.

An oligomer comprising a sense strand and an antisense strand that mediates RNA interference against a target RNA sequence having a trinucleotide repeat expansion is provided, wherein the antisense strand is complementary to the target RNA sequence and comprises a sequence having at least 80% identity to the sequence of Formula (I): rGrCrUrGrCrUrGrCX.sup.1X.sup.2rCrUrGrCrUrGrCrUrG (I), wherein X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of rA, rU, rG, rC, UNA-A, UNA-U, UNA-G, and UNA-C and wherein at least one of X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 is a UNA monomer; the oligomer comprises a UNA monomer at the first position at the 5′-end of the sense strand; and the sense strand and the antisense strand each independently include 19-29 monomers. The oligomers are useful as therapeutics targeting polyglutamine diseases and other diseases stemming from a trinucleotide repeat expansion.
