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 >
