Long-term reversal of Duchenne muscular dystrophy via circular arRNA-guided exon skipping in monkeys and humans.

Cell·July 9, 2026·PMID 42269605

Why it matters

This represents a novel RNA editing approach that leverages endogenous ADAR enzymes, potentially offering a durable, single-dose therapy for DMD. The demonstration of functional improvements in both animal models and patients, without anti-dystrophin immune responses, addresses key limitations of current exon-skipping strategies.
