  1. ASO targeting RBM3 temperature-controlled poison exon splicing prevents neurodegeneration in vivo

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. EMBO molecular medicine 2023-03-22 Drug development

    Neurodegenerative diseases are increasingly prevalent in the aging population, yet no disease-modifying treatments are currently available.

  2. Identification of regulatory cis-acting elements for alternative splicing of presenilin 2 exon 5 under hypoxic stress conditions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2004-12-01 Drug development

    An alternatively spliced form of the presenilin 2 (PS2) gene lacking exon 5 (PS2V) was found in human brains with sporadic Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Presenilin-1 mutation L271V results in altered exon 8 splicing and Alzheimer's disease with non-cored plaques and no neuritic dystrophy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 2002-12-19 Drug development

    The mutation L271V in exon 8 of the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene was detected in an Alzheimer's disease pedigree.

  4. A double-labeling immunohistochemical study of tau exon 10 in Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and Pick's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2000-09-01 Drug development

    Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), one of the histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and Pick bodies in Pick's disease (PiD) are composed of microtubule-associated protein tau, which is the product of alternative splicing of a gene on chromosome 17.
