Enhancing gene therapy with Circio

Drug Target Review

Secondly, circRNAs can be engineered for more efficient protein expression by carefully selecting and optimising the IRES element, a sequence motif derived from viruses and used to initiate cap-independent translation from circRNA. There are three major reasons for why Circio has selected AATD as its lead gene therapy program.
