Prevention of Unc13a cryptic splicing is sufficient to preserve memory
TDP-43 dysfunction is thought to underlie frontotemporal dementia and limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy, neurodegenerative dementias currently without effective therapy. Therapeutic strategies are designed to correct individual cryptic targets of TDP-43, such as UNC13A, whereby its cryptic splicing compromises synaptic function, yet the sufficiency of such an approach to…
