ASOs targeted towards mis-spliced UNC13A
NU2022-200 INVENTORS Wanhao Chi Jonathan Watts Evangelos Kiskinis* BACKGROUND Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative that leads to 1 in 500 deaths in adults. There is no cure to stop or reverse ALS, thus there is a need to better understand its pathobiology and develop effective therapeutics. Northwestern...
