Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Emerging as a new treatment option in rare and orphan disease areas, oligonucleotide therapeutics have matured into a drug class with a broad indication spectrum. 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.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent.
