The drug-elicitable alternative splicing module for tunable vector expression in the heart.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are commonly used for gene therapy, but a clinically relevant method to fine-tune AAV expression is lacking, restricting their therapeutic efficacy and safety. Here we develop the drug-elicitable alternative splicing module (DreAM), which is responsive to risdiplam, a Food and Drug Administration-approved alternative splicing modulator. Risdiplam activated DreAM-regulated AAV expression in a dose-dependent manner with a 2,000-fold inducible change, depending on the dose of risdiplam and the organ of interest.

Surface Structures of Linear and Branched Alkyl-Side-Chain Polymer Coatings.
