Blocking sense‐strand activity improves potency, safety and specificity of anti‐hepatitis B virus short hairpin RNA

Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a promising target for therapies based on RNA interference (RNAi) since it replicates via RNA transcripts that are vulnerable to RNAi silencing. Clinical translation of RNAi technology, however, requires improvements in potency, specificity and safety. To this end...
