Engineering antisense oligonucleotides for targeted mRNA degradation through lysosomal trafficking Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) can modulate gene expression at the mRNA level, providing the ability to tackle conventionally undruggable targets and usher in an era of personalized medicine. A key...

We have developed an entirely new mechanism of action for gene knockdown -> trafficking of targeted mRNAs to the lysosomal, using lysosomal trafficking oligonucleotides (LyTONs)!
