Gene Therapy Approach for Treating Neuropathy
TS-065913 — Gene therapy strategies for treating peripheral neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) results in loss of innervation by the peripheral nerves in tissues such as skin, muscle, heart, and adipose tissue. It is a painful, debilitating disease, that is estimated to affect between 20 and 30 million Americans. The number of Americans affected by PN is likely muc…

An improved base editor (iABE-NG) for correcting genetic diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy
TS-049505 — An engineered base editor (iABE-NG) that uses an SpCas9 variant, a shortened adenine deaminase domain with eliminated RNA off-target activity, and an intein split for packaging into an adeno-associated virus (AAV), resulting in gene mutation correction.
There are thousands of monogenic diseases that are lacking effective therapeutic treatments. The main bottleneck in developing effective treatment is the ability to effectively edit gene while controlling for the myriad of off-target effects that come with targeting the genome. Duchenne Muscular D…

LNA Inhibitor Cocktail Therapy for Lupus
TS-037260 — A cocktail of locked nucleic acids inhibits the inflammatory response in a humanized murine model of lupus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an orphan disease affecting approximately 5 in every 10,000 individuals. Despite its rare prevalence, this lifelong autoimmune disease has few effective targeted therapies. Current treatments are palliative using anti-inflammatory drugs or broad spectrum immun…
