Rescue of excitotoxicity in a mouse model of a rare neurodevelopmental disorder by ASO treatment.
We just posted our new paper, “Rescuing Neurodevelopmental Deficits in AMPA Receptor Gain-of-Function Mutant”. In this paper, we, in collaboration with Shu-Ling Chiu's lab, generated a mouse model of a rare missense mutation in the AMPA receptor GluA1 subunit.

Rescuing Neurodevelopmental Deficits in AMPA Receptor Gain-of-Function Mutant
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission and are essential for neuronal development and brain function. We investigated the role of a recurrent variant in the AMPAR GluA1 ...
