Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. When using a CPP as a delivery system, it must first be conjugated to its cargo molecule and internalised through endocytosis.
