Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of using a calcium oscillation assay and/or a sequence score calculation to identify a molecule that is safe for administration. The disclosure also includes a method of selecting or identifying a molecule having tolerable in vivo neurotoxicity using a calcium oscillation assay, a sequence score method, an in vivo tolerability assay, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of modulating expression of ATXN2 in a target cell. The oligonucleotides hybridize to ATXN2 mRNA. The present invention further relates to conjugates of the oligonucleotide and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's frontotemporal dementia (FTD), parkinsonism and conditions with TDP-43 proteinopathies using the oligonucleotide.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antisense oligonucleotides, which target CAMK2D mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of CAMK2D protein. Reduction of CAMK2D protein expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, e.g., cardiovascular-related diseases or disorders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to HTRA1, leading to modulation of the expression of HTRA1. Modulation of HTRA1 expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, such as macular degeneration, e.g. age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oligomer compounds (oligomers), which target Tau mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of Tau protein. Reduction of Tau protein expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, e.g., a neurological disorder.

Abstract: The present invention provides stereodefined phosphorothioate LNA oligonucleotide, comprising at least one stereodefined phosphorothioate linkage between a LNA nucleoside and a subsequent (3?) nucleoside.

Abstract: The present invention relates to LNA oligomers having two flanks, wherein one or both flanks comprise alternating LNA and DNA nucleosides.

Abstract: The present relates to LNA gapmer antisense oligonucleotides which comprise stereodefined phosphoramidite linkages. The use of stereodefined phosphoramidite linkages in LNA gapmers has been found to provide enhanced RNaseH activity, and modifying stereospecificity enables the reduced toxicity, altered biodistribution, and enhanced mismatch discrimination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to HTRA1, leading to modulation of the expression of HTRA1. Modulation of HTRA1 expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, such as macular degeneration, e.g. age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of identifying stereodefined phosphorothioate oligonucleotide variants with reduced toxicity by creating and screening libraries of stereodefined chiral phosphorothioate variants for compounds with reduced toxicity, either in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oligomer compounds (oligomers), which target Tau mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of Tau protein. Reduction of Tau protein expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, e.g., a neurological disorder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of cancer-diagnostics. In particular the invention relates to a microRNA expression signature that allows discriminating skin samples of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) from non-malignant (inflammantory) skin samples by use of quantitative polymerase chain reaction performed on reverse transcribed miRNA. miR-155, miR-326, miR-663b, miR-203 and miR-205 are shown to be differentially expressed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for diagnosing transplant rejection, or a condition associated with transplant rejection, such as, primary graft dysfunction in a subject, to antigen probe arrays for performing such a diagnosis, and to antigen probe sets for generating such arrays.

Abstract: A method of diagnosing an immune disease, or a predisposition thereto, in a subject is disclosed.

Abstract: Device for restricting or controlling and regulating the movement of remote-controlled parts, more particularly parts of a vehicle bodywork as well as a process for operating the device. The device and process can be used with particular advantage as a collision protection for window winders, sunroofs, doors or flaps, more particularly in connection with electrical displacement devices for motor vehicles. The device is characterized by an actuator and a sensor which are mounted on a cohesive uninterrupted transmission path which is a constituent part of the closing surface area of the remote-controlled part and/or of the fixed part interacting therewith. The arrangement is selected so that a part of the energy supplied by actuator is converted into acoustic surface waves which can scatter over the transmission path and can be received by the sensor.
