Absence of Non-Canonical, Inhibitory MYD88 Splice Variants in B Cell Lymphomas Correlates With Sustained NF-κB Signaling.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether a negative feedback loop exists in B cells, and found that the absence of such a feedback loop, at the level of alternative splicing, renders B cells vulnerable to sustained NF-κB activation and eventual lymphomagenesis.

Compositions and uses for treatment thereof

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to use oligonucleotide compositions for the treatment of DNA repeat expansion diseases and also related to oligon nucleotides directed to subunits of the DNA mismatch repair system.

Molecular Basis of Resilience: Adapting to a Changing Environment

TL;DR: This book attempts to illuminate mechanisms of resilience beginning with elaborating threats leading to disruption in steady state conditions and environmental conditions that serve to dampen the adaptive response oscillator to disruptive threats at the level of RNA expression.

Towards Splicing Therapy for Lysosomal Storage Disorders: Methylxanthines and Luteolin Ameliorate Splicing Defects in Aspartylglucosaminuria and Classic Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis.

TL;DR: Using minigene approaches and patient cells, this article showed that methylxanthine derivatives and the food-derived flavonoid luteolin can enhance splicing of the AGA mRNA with a splice-site mutation c.128-2A>G in aspartylglucosaminuria, and result in increased AGA enzyme activity in patient cells.

Collagens and Muscle Diseases: A Focus on Collagen VI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the current knowledge of collagens and their roles in muscle disorders, mostly focusing on collagen VI since it is the collagen type with the major known impact in muscle physiology and whose deficiency is causative for a distinctive group of muscle diseases.

Dystrophin: The protein product of the duchenne muscular dystrophy locus

TL;DR: The identification of the mdx mouse as an animal model for DMD has important implications with regard to the etiology of the lethal DMD phenotype, and the protein dystrophin is named because of its identification via the isolation of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus.

Local Dystrophin Restoration with Antisense Oligonucleotide PRO051

TL;DR: Intramuscular injection of antisense oligonucleotide PRO051 induced dystrophin synthesis in four patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy who had suitable mutations, suggesting that further studies might be feasible.
