Site-blocking oligos (SBO) upregulate utrophin for treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD
Synthetic oligonucleotides blocking natural degradation of utrophin to treat muscular dystrophy. Problem: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe form of muscular dystrophy affecting males. A genetic mutation causes decreased production of dystrophin, a critical protein connecting cells to surrounding tissue. This leads to improper muscle...

Up-regulators of utrophin expression for the treatment of muscular dystrophy
Small molecules targeting utrophin mRNA untranslated regions overcome post-transcriptional repression Problem: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked neuromuscular disorder that affects approximately 1 in 3500 males worldwide. DMD is caused by mutations in the DMD gene that lead to severe reduction or loss of dystrophin protein. Without...

Gene therapy for treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) therapy deletes let-7c miRNA binding sites using CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing and AAV based delivery. Problem: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal disease characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness that affects 1 in 3,500 live-born males worldwide, and which ultimately causes death...

Therapeutic approach for treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Technology Overview: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common X-linked fatal neuromuscular disorder, affecting approximately 1 in every 3500 male births. It is characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscle due to a defective form of the gene dystrophin. There is currently no cure for DMD and the available treatment...
