    Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (oligomers) complementary to nucleic acids encoding mammalian T cell-restricted intracellular antigen-1 (TIA1), in particular antisense oligonucleotides targeting TIA1 pre-mRNA sequences, which are capable of inhibiting the expression of TIA1. Inhibition of TIA1expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders including neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Frontotemporal Dementia.

    Abstract: This patent application relates to a method for determining the in vitro efficacy profile of a drug candidate using standardized cell cultures of uniformly distributed differentiated neural cells (NCs) from at least two primate species, wherein the differentiated NC cultures are qualified for high throughput screening based on a dissociation and reseeding step performed on the differentiated NCs. The method includes differentiating human and/or non-human primate neuronal precursor cells (NPCs) to neuronal cells (NCs) followed by dissociating the differentiated NCs from its support and reseeding the differentiated NCs in a high-throughput cell culture format resulting in robust cultures suitable for high-throughput drug screening assays, in particular to screen antisense oligonucleotides.
