It is always difficult to select the most optimal ASO sequence for splice modulation of transcripts. Toshifumi Yokota will present the e-skip-Finder, a freely available tool to select the best ASO for your studies. #ASO2022 Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society


Exciting news! A new book, 'Muscular Dystrophy Therapeutics' has just been released, providing in-depth information on the latest methods to develop therapies for this debilitating condition. #musculardystrophy #therapeutics Springer Nature link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…


Published! Congratulations, Tejal! TEJAL ASLESH JCI Insight - DG9-conjugated morpholino rescues phenotype in SMA mice by reaching the CNS via a subcutaneous administration insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

Thrilled to share our latest findings on the potential of DG9-conjugated morpholino as a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy! Our study shows significant improvements in survival, SMN expression, and muscle function in a mouse model. UAlberta Med & Dent insight.jci.org/articles/view/…


We couldn't have done it without the support of our funding partners! Our study was made possible by the Friends of Garrett Cumming Research & Muscular Dystrophy Canada Research Chair Fund, Women & Children's Health Research Institute, CIHR-IHDCYH. Their support allows us to work towards finding innovative solutions for #SMA.
