Antisense molecules capable of binding to a selected target site in the human dystrophin gene to induce exon 53 skipping are described.

Disclosed herein are methods, compositions, polynucleic acid polymers, assays, and kits for inducing processing of a partially processed mRNA transcript to remove a retained intron to produce a fully processed mRNA transcript that encodes a full-length functional form of a protein. Also described herein are methods and compositions for treating a disease or condition characterized by impaired production of a full-length functional form of a protein or for treating a disease or condition characterized by a defective splicing in a subject.

Provided herein are oligomeric compounds with conjugate groups. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds are conjugated to N-Acetylgalactosamine.

The present invention relates to methods for upregulating immune responses using combinations of anti-RGMb and anti-PD-1 agents.

Described herein are RNA-based antisense therapeutics to target antibiotic resistant bacteria. The antisense therapeutics disclosed herein can be useful in re-sensitizing drug-resistant bacteria to antibiotics, as well as developing antibiotics that have bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects on the drug-resistant bacteria or are capable of preventing emergence of antibiotic resistance. Also described herein are methods for re-sensitizing a subject to one or more antibiotics in need thereof, methods for identifying target genes involved in adaptive antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and methods for developing antibacterial antisense therapeutics.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to HTRA1, leading to modulation of the expression of HTRA1. Modulation of HTRA1 expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, such as macular degeneration, e.g. age-related macular degeneration.

Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression and function of small non-coding RNAs. The compositions comprise oligomeric compounds, targeted to small non-coding RNAs. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of small non-coding RNAs as well as downstream targets of these RNAs and for diagnosis and treatment of disease associated with small non-coding RNAs are also provided.

Oligonucleotide compounds modulate expression and/or function of Erythropoietin (EPO) polynucleotides and encoded products thereof. Methods for treating diseases associated with Erythropoietin (EPO) comprise administering one or more oligonucleotide compounds designed to inhibit the EPO natural antisense transcript to patients.

Described herein are compositions and methods for enhancing erythropoiesis in an individual in need thereof. Specifically agents that decrease the expression of Exosc10, such as inhibitory nucleic acid molecules, produce an increase in red blood cell production in the individual.

The present disclosure provides oligomeric compounds. The present disclosure provides metabolically stable linkers that do not rapidly degrade in vivo. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides metabolically stable linkers for use in attaching a conjugate group to an oligonucleotide.
