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. This method is generally used to deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA), but it can also be used for larger oligonucleotides too.
