Five Promising Treatment Areas in Early-Phase Drug Development in 2024

Alta Sciences

Oligonucleotide-Based Techniques Most oligonucleotide therapies act through antisense mechanisms and are directed against various RNA species. They work by binding to specific sequences of nucleotides present within the mRNA structure and can induce mechanisms that either decrease, restore, or modify protein expression.
