  1. Antisense oligonucleotide-based targeting of Tau-tubulin kinase 1 prevents hippocampal accumulation of phosphorylated tau in PS19 tauopathy mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica communications 2023-10-19 Drug development

    Tau tubulin kinase-1 (TTBK1), a neuron-specific tau kinase, is highly expressed in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampal regions, where early tau pathology evolves in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Structural Diversity of Sense and Antisense RNA Hexanucleotide Repeats Associated with ALS and FTLD

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecules (Basel, Switzerland) 2020-01-25 Drug development

    The hexanucleotide expansion GGGGCC located in C9orf72 gene represents the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD).

  3. Antisense directed against PS-1 gene decreases brain oxidative markers in aged senescence accelerated mice (SAMP8) and reverses learning and memory impairment: a proteomics study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Free radical biology & medicine 2013-06-15 Drug development

    Amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through the induction of oxidative stress.

  4. Antisense prevention of neuronal damages following head injury in mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of molecular medicine (Berlin, Germany) 2000-01-01 Drug development

    Closed head injury (CHI) is an important cause of death among young adults and a prominent risk factor for nonfamilial Alzheimer's disease.
