Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for modulating c-Rel-dependent cytokine production without materially altering the level of expression of NF?B and/or the amount of I?B. The present invention is also directed to screening for modulators of c-Rel activity as determined by assaying for altered subcellular localization of c-Rel but where the level of expression of NF?B and/or the amount of I?B is materially unaltered.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide steric-blocking oligonucleotide-based methods of modulating expression of target genes, e.g., by targeting non-coding RNA scaffolds.

Abstract: Methods for modulating expression of SMN1 and/or SMN2 in cells obtained from subjects having ALS or in subjects having ALS using single stranded oligonucleotides are provided. Methods for treating ALS using single stranded oligonucleotides are also provided.

Abstract: A method of treating a Hsp70-responsive disorder in a subject includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound represented by Structural Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. Y is a covalent bond or an optionally substituted straight chained hydrocarbyl group, or, Y, taken together with both >C?Z groups to which it is bonded, is an optionally substituted aromatic group. R1-R4 are independently —H, an optionally substituted aliphatic group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or R1 and R3 taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are bonded, and/or R2 and R4 taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are bonded, form a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring optionally fused to an aromatic ring. R7-R8 are independently —H, an optionally substituted aliphatic group, or an optionally substituted aryl group. Z is O or S.

Abstract: Methods of employing bis(thio-hydrazide amides) to increase NK cell activity in a subject in need thereof, e.g., a subject with an infection or an immunodeficiency, are provided such that the disorder is not cancer, a proliferative cell disorder, a non-infective heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) responsive disorder, or a proteasome-inhibitor responsive disorder. Typically, a subject, e.g., a human, can be in need of increased NK cell activity has an immunodeficiency or is treated for an infection (e.g., a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasite infection, or a combination thereof). The method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound represented by Structural Formula I: Y is a covalent bond or an optionally substituted straight chained hydrocarbyl group, or, Y, taken together with both >C=Z groups to which it is bonded, is an optionally substituted aromatic group.
