Next RNA Therapeutics: The Mine of Non-Coding

TL;DR: The principal classes of therapeutic ncRNA molecules that are potentially implied in disease onset and progression, which are already used in clinics or under clinical trials are summarized, highlighting the advantages and the need for a targeted therapeutic strategy design.

Biodistribution and Molecular Studies on Orally Administered Nanoparticle-AON Complexes Encapsulated with Alginate Aiming at Inducing Dystrophin Rescue in mdx Mice

TL;DR: The aim of the present work was to evaluate the oral route as an alternative way of administration for ZM2-antisense oligoribonucleotides complexes and to encourage further experiments on oral administration testing of NP and AON complexes, possibly translatable in oligorIBon nucleotides-mediated molecular therapies.

Deletion of Galgt2 (B4Galnt2) Reduces Muscle Growth in Response to Acute Injury and Increases Muscle Inflammation and Pathology in Dystrophin-Deficient Mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Galgt2 gene expression and glycosylation of αDG are dynamically regulated in muscle and that endogenous Galgt 2 gene expression can ameliorate the extent of muscle pathology, inflammation, and dysfunction in mdx mice.

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.
