Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. Ensuring that the CPP can escape this endosomal compartment is crucial for its bioavailability and bioactivity properties. cells, such as diabetes.

Considerations for Neuroscience Trials with Intrathecal Delivery and Other Methods of Direct CNS Administration

XTalks

We know that a lot of different pathologies, especially as we’ve entered the era of molecular medicine and gene therapies, cause many of the same symptoms and work through final common pathways. Such therapies may involve small interfering RNA (siRNA) or oligonucleotides in viral transfection platforms, large molecules and antibodies.
