How Does It Work? | Peptide-Oligonucleotide Conjugates
This week’s episode of our “How Does It Work?” series features Peptide-Oligonucleotide Conjugates. Peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates are made up of peptide and oligonucleotide components. These cutting-edge molecules have many applications in biomedicine. The oligonucleotide component can interact with mRNA to alter gene expression within diseased cells but oligonucleotides are easily degraded in the body and have …Read More >
How Does It Work? | Individualized Oligonucleotide Therapies
In this week’s episode of our “How Does It Work?” video series, we explore Individualized Oligonucleotide Therapies. Around 6 billion letters form the genetic code that makes each person’s biology unique. Genomic sequencing allows us to read this code to find defects that cause disease, enabling us to tailor therapies for individual patients. This was …Read More >
How Does It Work? | Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy
In this week’s installment of our “How Does It Work?” video series, we’ll explore Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy. Errors in DNA, known as gene mutations, can originate harmful proteins that cause disease. However, we can target the mRNA involved in the formation of specific disease associated proteins by using drugs called antisense oligonucleotides. They work by …Read More >

Meeting Neurodegenerative Disease Head-On with Emerging Drug Discovery Strategies
Chronic neurodegenerative diseases encompass a variety of progressive conditions that affect neurons, including Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia. They are among the most common and challenging central nervous system (CNS) diseases. “Many companies had stopped their research program into neurodegenerative diseases, but now sophisticated technology advances have became more broadly …Read More >
