McMahon M, Rahdar M, Mukhopadhyay S, Bui H, Hart C, Damle S, et al.
Mol Ther Nucleic Acids . 2023 Apr; 32:289-301. PMID: 37096163
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are short synthetic nucleic acids that recognize and bind to complementary RNA to modulate gene expression. It is well established that single-stranded, phosphorothioate-modified ASOs enter cells independent...

McMahon M, Rahdar M
Methods Mol Biol . 2020 Sep; 2162:49-60. PMID: 32926377
CRISPR-based gene editing in mammalian cells is a powerful research tool which has demonstrated efficient site-specific gene modifications and is showing promise as a therapeutic for patients with genetic diseases....

Nechemia-Arbely Y, Miga K, Shoshani O, Aslanian A, McMahon M, Lee A, et al.
Nat Cell Biol . 2019 Jun; 21(6):743-754. PMID: 31160708
Chromatin assembled with the histone H3 variant CENP-A is the heritable epigenetic determinant of human centromere identity. Using genome-wide mapping and reference models for 23 human centromeres, CENP-A binding sites...

Melamed Z, Lopez-Erauskin J, Baughn M, Zhang O, Drenner K, Sun Y, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2019 Jan; 22(2):180-190. PMID: 30643298
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are associated with loss of nuclear transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43). Here we identify that TDP-43 regulates expression of the neuronal...

Kim D, Han J, Ly P, Ye Q, McMahon M, Myung K, et al.
Nat Commun . 2018 Oct; 9(1):4354. PMID: 30341343
The mitotic checkpoint ensures accurate chromosome segregation through assembly of the mitotic checkpoint complex (MCC), a soluble inhibitor of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) produced by unattached kinetochores. MCC is also...

McMahon M, Prakash T, Cleveland D, Bennett C, Rahdar M
Mol Ther . 2018 Apr; 26(5):1228-1240. PMID: 29650467
CRISPR-based gene editing is a powerful technology for engineering mammalian genomes. It holds the potential as a therapeutic, although much-needed in vivo delivery systems have yet to be established. Here,...

Hoffmann S, Dumont M, Barra V, Ly P, Nechemia-Arbely Y, McMahon M, et al.
Cell Rep . 2016 Nov; 17(9):2394-2404. PMID: 27880912
Human centromeres are defined by chromatin containing the histone H3 variant CENP-A assembled onto repetitive alphoid DNA sequences. By inducing rapid, complete degradation of endogenous CENP-A, we now demonstrate that...

Malmersjo S, Di Palma S, Diao J, Lai Y, Pfuetzner R, Wang A, et al.
EMBO J . 2016 Jul; 35(16):1810-21. PMID: 27402227
Membrane fusion is essential for eukaryotic life, requiring SNARE proteins to zipper up in an α-helical bundle to pull two membranes together. Here, we show that vesicle fusion can be...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2015 Nov; 112(51):E7110-7. PMID: 26589814
Genome editing with the clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 nuclease system is a powerful technology for manipulating genomes, including introduction of gene disruptions or corrections. Here we develop...
