Abstract

Disruptions in RNA processing play critical roles in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. In this Perspective, we discuss recent progress in the development of RNA-targeting therapeutic modalities. We focus on progress, limitations, and opportunities in a new generation of therapies engineered from RNA binding proteins and other endogenous RNA regulatory macromolecules to treat human neurological disorders.
