Researchers investigated the function of PQBP3, a protein that was previously linked to certain neurodegenerative diseases, and unveiled its role in maintaining the integrity of the nuclear membrane. In senescent (aged) cells, PQBP3 concentration is decreased thereby promoting Lamin B1 degradation, and PQBP3 leaks from its typical place in the nucleolus to the cytosol, which in turn causes the nuclear membrane to get destabilized.

Japanese researchers studied the effects of locally administered ASOs on mouse models of Parkinson's disease. Their research indicates that ASOs can help prevent the formation and spread of harmful alpha-synuclein aggregates in different brain regions, suggesting ASOs as a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing and controlling the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
