Therapeutic RNA interface for DYT1 Dystonia - Dr. Pedro Gonzalez (Cure Dystonia Initiative Grant)
|
Pedro Gonzalez-Alegre, MD and his colleagues are using RNAi to restore human neural cells to normal by selectively silencing a gene that causes the movement disorder DYT1 dystonia. The findings also may help researchers apply RNAi to other brain diseases such as Huntington's disease.
