Nguyen T, Miramontes R, Chillon-Marinas C, Maimon R, Vazquez-Sanchez S, Lau A, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2025 Jan; 28(2):280-292. PMID: 39762660
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the HTT gene, leading to altered gene expression. However, the mechanisms leading to disrupted RNA processing in HD remain...

bioRxiv . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39314471
Protein misfolding and aggregation are cardinal features of neurodegenerative disease (NDD) and they contribute to pathophysiology by both loss-of-function (LOF) and gain-of-function (GOF) mechanisms. This is well exemplified by TDP-43...

Yang S, Niou Z, Enriquez A, LaMar J, Huang J, Ling K, et al.
Mol Neurodegener . 2024 Jan; 19(1):13. PMID: 38282024
Background: Bioenergetic maladaptations and axonopathy are often found in the early stages of neurodegeneration. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), an essential cofactor for energy metabolism, is mainly synthesized by Nicotinamide mononucleotide...

Lopez-Erauskin J, Bravo-Hernandez M, Presa M, Baughn M, Melamed Z, Beccari M, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2023 Nov; 27(1):34-47. PMID: 37996528
The mRNA transcript of the human STMN2 gene, encoding for stathmin-2 protein (also called SCG10), is profoundly impacted by TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) loss of function. The latter is...

Aggarwal G, Banerjee S, Jones S, Benchaar Y, Belanger J, Sevigny M, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2023 Nov; 299(12):105475. PMID: 37981208
Heterozygous GRN (progranulin) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) due to haploinsufficiency, and increasing progranulin levels is a major therapeutic goal. Several microRNAs, including miR-29b, negatively regulate progranulin protein levels. Antisense...

Villar-Pazos S, Thomas L, Yang Y, Chen K, Lyles J, Deitch B, et al.
Nat Commun . 2023 Oct; 14(1):6547. PMID: 37848409
PACS1 syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) caused by a recurrent de novo missense mutation in PACS1 (p.Arg203Trp (PACS1)). The mechanism by which PACS1 causes PACS1 syndrome is unknown, and...

Mol Psychiatry . 2023 Apr; 28(6):2445-2461. PMID: 37012334
TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology is a key feature of over 95% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and nearly half of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases. The pathogenic mechanisms...

Mol Ther Nucleic Acids . 2023 Mar; 32:13-27. PMID: 36950280
Optic neuropathy is a group of optic nerve (ON) diseases with progressive degeneration of ON and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The lack of neuroprotective treatments is a central challenge for...

Science . 2023 Mar; 379(6637):1140-1149. PMID: 36927019
Loss of nuclear TDP-43 is a hallmark of neurodegeneration in TDP-43 proteinopathies, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). TDP-43 mislocalization results in cryptic splicing and polyadenylation of...
