Small molecule targeting r(UGGAA) n disrupts RNA foci and alleviates disease phenotype in Drosophila model

Synthetic small molecules modulating RNA structure and function have therapeutic potential for RNA diseases. Here the authors show the mechanism by which a small molecule targets the disease-causing r(UGGAA) n repeat RNAs in spinocerebellar ataxia type 31.
