    Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of Formula (I). The compounds described herein are useful in treating a disease associated with the expression of endogenous embryonic/fetal globin (e.g., γ globin) in erythrocytes (e.g., treating β-thalassemia and/or sickle cell disease through at least the induction of the globin gene expression in erythrocytes), and/or anemia (β-thalassemia and/or sickle cell anemia). The compounds described herein are useful in treating, delaying, and/or preventing the adverse effects of β-thalassemia and/or sickle cell disease, inducing γ globin production, and/or inducing the expression of embryonic/fetal globin genes in a subject, cell, tissue, or biological sample. Also provided in the present disclosure are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, and methods of using the compounds for inducing γ globin production described herein and for treating any of the target diseases described herein.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a genetically modified mouse comprising a heterozygous mutation of Tardbp (TDP-43) gene in that the Asn at amino acid 390 in TDP-43 is substituted with an amino acid that is different from Asn, wherein the genetically modified mouse exhibits Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-like phenotypes, TDP-43 proteinopathies and/or motor neuron degeneration. The invention also so relates to an isolated spinal cord motor neuron differentiated from an embryonic stem cell (ESC) that is obtained from an offspring of a genetically modified mouse according to the invention. Methods for identifying an agent alleviating and/or suppressing ALS-TDP pathogenesis are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods for identifying a test agent as a modulator of the active DNA demethylation activity of a DNA methyltransferase are disclosed. The method comprises: a) providing a methylated DNA; b) providing the DNA methyltransferase; c) allowing the methylated DNA to react with the DNA methyltransferase for a sufficient time to perform a demethylation reaction and generate a demethylated DNA product in the presence or absence of a test agent; d) analyzing the extent of demethylation; and d) comparing the extents of the demethylation in the presence and absence of the test agent, and thereby identify the test agent as a modulator of the DNA demethylation activity of the DNA methyltransferase.
