Recent Advances on Therapeutic Approaches for Friedreich’s Ataxia: New Pharmacological Targets, Protein, and Gene Therapy

Chellapandi, D.M., Mosbach, V., Paschaki, M., Puccio, H. (2023). Recent Advances on Therapeutic Approaches for Friedreich’s Ataxia: New Pharmacological Targets, Protein, and Gene Therapy. In: Soong, Bw., Manto, M., Brice, A., Pulst, S.M. (eds) Trials for Cerebellar Ataxias. Contemporary Clinical Neuroscience. Springer, Cham. doi:10.1007/978-3-031-24345-5_23 

 In this chapter, we discuss recent therapeutic approaches, including a proof-of-concept study for gene therapy, drug development targeting the affected downstream pathways, paving the way for the first disease-modifying therapeutic approaches.
