Deskripsi
Boutary et al. describe siRNA based therapy conjugated with squalene nanoparticles as an efficient approach to normalize PMP22 protein levels, restore locomotor activity, electrophysiological parameters and function of myelin sheath in CMT1A mouse models. These findings could be useful to develop therapeutic strategies for inherited peripheral neuropathies.
