Conditional gene knock-down by CRE-dependent short interfering RNAs.

abstract：:Mutations in GRN, which encodes progranulin, are a common cause of familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD). FTD is a devastating disease characterised by neuronal loss in the frontal and temporal lobes that leads to changes in personality, behaviour and language. There are no effective treatments for this complex condi...
