Data demonstrates superiority of circular RNA vs linear mRNA

Drug Discovery World

AATD is a challenging genetic disease to treat. By using circular RNA-based AAT expression, Circio is uniquely able to separate the two species for mutant-specific knockdown, thereby solving two problems with one single product.” There are over 200,000 AATD patients affected in the USA and EU alone.
