Membrane Destabilization Induced by Lipid Species Increases Activity of Phosphorothioate-Antisense Oligonucleotides

Chemically modified antisense oligonucleotides with phosphorothioate linkages (PS-ASOs) mediate site-specific cleavage of RNA by RNase H1 and are broadly used as research and therapeutic tools. PS-ASOs can enter cells via endocytic pathways and escape from membrane-enclosed endocytic organelles to r...
