miRNA markers decreased in extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the blood of ALS patients and therapeutic drugs that replenish these miRNAs
Discovery of mGluR5 dysfunction in ALS patients with TDP-43 pathology offers a new direction for the development of disease-modifying therapies
This antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) sterically blocks the binding hotspots of RNA-binding proteins to reactivate the splicing of an "exitron" within the TDP-43 gene. As a result, it reduces the production of the Intrinsically Disordered Region (IDR) that triggers aggregation, while simultaneously increasing a protective short isoform (ΔIDR). This isoform guides TDP-43 aggregates to be processed via a "Cap & Escort" mechanism. This approach simultaneously achieves the typically conflicting goals of suppressing cytoplasmic aggregation and restoring nuclear function.
