In glaucoma, normal proteins (cellular machines) are corrupted and cause the retinal ganglion cells to die.

Ansari, who has been trying to unravel repeats for about 15 years at UW — Madison, achieved initial success in 2004 when his group designed «two - headed» molecules with a «DNA reading head» that would deliver the molecule to a specific location in an individual's genome, and a «docking head» that would dock a cellular machine to force the gene to be read correctly at that site.

In some diseases, including Friedreich's, the repeats become roadblocks to cellular machines that decode the gene and start making the protein that the cell needs.

They found that oxidized messenger RNA jams the cellular machines that make protein.

Scientists have mostly ignored mRNA, the molecule that ferries information from DNA to the cellular machines that make proteins, because these DNA transcripts are ephemeral and soon destroyed.
