TLDR
In cell-free and cultured-cell systems where one wishes to block the translation of a messenger RNA coding for a normal protein, RNase H-independent morpholino antisense oligos provide complete resistance to nucleases, generally good targeting predictability, generally high in-cell efficacy, excellent sequence specificity, and very preliminary results suggest they may exhibit little non-antisense activity.

The role of genetic factors in neuronal migration disorders and epilepsy

Lucy Kinton
TL;DR: A Brazilian family with a novel idiopathic autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with Peri-central Spikes is studied and the role of genes involved in neuronal migration has been studied in a model system, the zebrafish, providing the model system for the study of the action of this gene.

Molecular mechanisms that govern the establishment of sensory-motor networks

TL;DR: Validation and characterization of the expression patterns of candidate genes previously predicted by a whole-genome expression analysis of differentially projecting sensory and motor neurons further contributes to the decipherment of molecular mechanisms that govern sensory-motor network formation.

Kynurenine-3-monooxygenase expression is activated in the pancreatic endocrine cells by diabetes and its blockade improves glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the TKP enzymes expression in diabetic GK islets, and the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) after KMO knockdown using specific morpholino-oligonucleotides against KMO or KMO blockade using the specific inhibitor Ro618048 in GK rats.

The third helix of the Antennapedia homeodomain translocates through biological membranes

TL;DR: It is reported here that a polypeptide of 16 amino acids in length corresponding to the third helix of the homeodomain deleted of its N-terminal glutamate is still capable of translocating through the membrane, suggesting an energy-independent mechanism of translocation not involving classical endocytosis.

Intercellular trafficking and protein delivery by a herpesvirus structural protein.

Gillian Elliott, +1 more
- 24 Jan 1997 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the HSV-1 structural protein VP22 has the remarkable property of intercellular transport, which is so efficient that following expression in a subpopulation the protein spreads to every cell in a monolayer, where it concentrates in the nucleus and binds chromatin.

Evaluation of 2'-modified oligonucleotides containing 2'-deoxy gaps as antisense inhibitors of gene expression

TL;DR: The use of a previously described 17-mer phosphorothioate for structure-function analysis of 2'-sugar modifications and the results demonstrate the importance of target affinity in the action of antisense oligonucleotides and of RNase H as a mechanism by which these compounds exert their effects.
