Abstract: Methods are provided for treating a subject with a pain condition. Aspects of the methods include administering a gene therapy to the subject and/or a therapeutically effective amount of a composition that includes a gene therapy vector. Aspects of the vectors may include a nucleic acid sequence encoding a K-Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) polypeptide, including e.g., full-length and modified versions thereof. Methods are also provided for treating a subject by editing an endogenous KCC2 locus of the subject to encode a modified KCC2 polypeptide. Methods of detecting the presence of a pain condition are also provided, including where a pain condition detected in such methods is treated according to the methods described herein. Also provided are compositions, such as compositions including a gene therapy vector, such as a lentiviral vector, that includes a viral backbone nucleic acid comprising a sequence encoding a full-length human KCC2 polypeptide or a nucleic acid sequence encoding a modified KCC2 polypeptide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing vinyl chloride graft copolymers by emulsion polymerization and to a method for preparing blends of such graft copolymers. The invention also relates to transparent molded articles prepared by using the graft copolymers according to the invention and their blends, respectively.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment of a mitochondrial disease in an individual with the mitochondrial disease. Aspects of the methods include administering an inhibitor of a Pumilio-like protein and/or an inhibitor of a serine/arginine-rich family of pre-mRNA splicing factor (SR) protein to a subject. Also provided are methods, compositions, systems and kits for transdifferentiating target cells to neurons, which find use in producing neurons for the development of new therapies, for experimental evaluation, as a source of lineage- and cell-specific products, and the like, for example, for use in treating human disorders of the CNS.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a single-stage batch process for preparation of pastable polymers, in particular of vinyl chloride homo- and copolymers, by the microsuspension process, where these in a blend with plasticizers give PVC pastes, also termed plastisols, with very low viscosities and with very low emulsifier contents.
