<i>UNC13A</i> splice correction rescues synaptic dysfunction induced by TDP-43 loss


TDP-43 loss induces a predegenerative state in which neurons remain structurally intact and suffer a substantial breakdown in synaptic communication; a therapeutic strategy is found that corrects UNC13A cryptic splicing by using splice-switching antisense oligonucleotides.
