A CRISPR Approach to Neurodegenerative Diseases.
A major barrier to developing effective therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is our incomplete understanding of the underlying cellular mechanisms. Genetic screens in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons can elucidate such mechanisms. Genome-wide screens using CRISPR interference and CRISPR activation provide complementary biological insights and may reveal potential therapeu...
متن کاملCRISPR/Cas9: Implications for Modeling and Therapy of Neurodegenerative Diseases
CRISPR/Cas9 is now used widely to genetically modify the genomes of various species. The ability of CRISPR/Cas9 to delete DNA sequences and correct DNA mutations opens up a new avenue to treat genetic diseases that are caused by DNA mutations. In this review, we describe the advantages of using CRISPR/Cas9 to engineer genomic DNAs in animal embryos, as well as in specific regions or cell types ...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative Diseases and Memory: A Treatment Approach
Cognitive dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative diseases can occur for many reasons that are not directly associated with any underlying disease process, such as associated with expression of dementia, hormone imbalance, dietary deficiency or excess, drug-induced or heavy metal toxicity, head injury, inherited disorders of the CNS, sleep deprivation, and prolonged stress. All of these c...
متن کاملAutophagy in Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Mechanism to Therapeutic Approach
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent intracellular degradation process that allows recycling of cytoplasmic constituents into bioenergetic and biosynthetic materials for maintenance of homeostasis. Since the function of autophagy is particularly important in various stress conditions, perturbation of autophagy can lead to cellular dysfunction and diseases. Accumulation of abnormal protein aggregat...
