Abstract excerpt
DNA damage and repair is a critical domain of many neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we focused on RpA1, a candidate key molecule in polyQ disease pathologies, and tested the therapeutic effect of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector expressing RpA1 on mutant Ataxin-1 knock-in (Atxn1-KI) mice. We found significant effects on motor functions, normalized DNA damage markers (γH2AX and 53BP1), and improved...
