This disclosure relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type 1a, (GSD-Ia), and related symptoms such as hypoglycemia. mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase or G6PC), and functional fragments and variants thereof. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of G6PC expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further increase the glucose production, and reduce the abnormal accumulation of glycogen and/or glucose-6-phosphate associated with GSD-Ia.

Compositions and methods for treating a disease are described herein. Compositions having plant preparations, microRNAs, and one or more rate limiters are administered to a patient to promote DNA damage repair and modulate endothelial and mitochondrial function, thereby allowing for healing to occur.

Described are compositions and methods for inhibition of Hepatitis B virus gene expression. RNA interference (RNAi) agents for inhibiting the expression of Hepatitis B virus gene are described. The HBV RNAi agents disclosed herein may be targeted to cells, such as hepatocytes, for example, by using conjugated targeting ligands. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more HBV RNAi agents optionally with one or more additional therapeutics are also described. Delivery of the described HBV RNAi agents to infected liver in vivo provides for inhibition of HBV gene expression and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with HBV infection.

Provided are methods and compositions for maintaining the viability of photoreceptor cells following retinal detachment. The viability of photoreceptor cells can be preserved by administering an apoptosis inhibitor to a mammal having an eye with retinal detachment. The apoptosis inhibitor maintains the viability of the photoreceptor cells until such time that the retina becomes reattached to the underlying retinal pigment epithelium and choroid. The treatment minimizes the loss of vision, which otherwise may occur as a result of retinal detachment.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Sodium channel, voltage-gated, alpha subunit (SCNA), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Sodium channel, voltage-gated, alpha subunit (SCNA). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of SCNA.
