Endothelial and neuronal engagement by AAV-BR1 alleviates neurological symptoms and cholesterol deposition in a mouse model of Niemann-Pick type C2
2024-04-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Patients with the genetic disorder Niemann-Pick type C2 disease (NP-C2) suffer from lysosomal accumulation of cholesterol causing both systemic and severe neurological symptoms. In a murine NP-C2 model, otherwise successful intravenous Niemann-Pick C2 protein (NPC2) replacement therapy fails to alleviate progressive neurodegeneration as infused NPC2 is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier (...
