Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates generally to treatment of neurological disorders and nervous system injuries. The invention specifically provides methods of using modulators of particular target proteins to modulate degeneration of neurons or portions thereof, such as axons.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting degeneration of an axon of a central nervous system neuron, wherein the method comprises administering to the neuron, or a portion thereof, a short interfering RNA (siRNA) that is specific for dual leucine zipper-bearing kinase (DLK) and comprises a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of GCACTGAATTGGACAACTCTT (SEQ ID NO: 1), GAGTTGTCCAATTCAGTGCTT (SEQ ID NO: 2), GGACATCGCCTCCGCTGATTT (SEQ ID NO: 3), ATCAGCGGAGGCGAT…
