Journal ArticleDOI
The current landscape of nucleic acid therapeutics.
Jayesh A. Kulkarni,Dominik Witzigmann,Sarah B. Thomson,Sam Chen,Blair R. Leavitt,Pieter R. Cullis,Roy van der Meel +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review four platform technologies that have enabled the clinical translation of nucleic acid therapeutics: antisense oligonucleotides, ligand-modified small interfering RNA conjugates, lipid nanoparticles and adeno-associated virus vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous, solvent-free entrapment of siRNA within lipid nanoparticles.
Jayesh A. Kulkarni,Sarah B. Thomson,Josh Zaifman,Jerry Leung,Pamela K. Wagner,Austin Hill,Yuen Yi C. Tam,Pieter R. Cullis,Terri L. Petkau,Blair R. Leavitt +9 more
TL;DR: Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering are used to show that efficient siRNA entrapment occurs in the absence of ethanol, and suggest that nucleic acid entrapments occurs through inversion of preformed vesicles, and that preformed particles at pH 4 can be used for in vitro transfection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid-Nanoparticle-Based Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 Genome-Editing Components
TL;DR: The challenges of CRISPR delivery are highlighted, which have driven the significant development of new, safe, and optimized LNP formulations in the past decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional Regulation of the Huntingtin Gene.
TL;DR: Improving understanding of HTT expression and control may also uncover novel therapeutic approaches for HD through the development of methods to modulate mHTT levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational Analysis of Transcriptional Regulation Sites at the HTT Gene Locus.
Rebecca A G De Souza,Natalia Kosior,Sarah B. Thomson,Anthony Mathelier,Allen W. Zhang,Kristina Becanovic,Wyeth W. Wasserman,Blair R. Leavitt +7 more
TL;DR: Putative regulatory regions outside of the immediate HTT promoter region have been identified with specific protein-protein interactions and will focus on in vitro and in vivo studies to examine the effect of modulating identified TFBSs and altering the levels of specific TFs of interest in regulating HTT gene expression.
