Oligonucleotide therapeutics

Oligonucleotide therapeutics are short strands of genetic material designed to target specific parts of DNA or RNA in the body. They can modify gene expression or correct genetic mutations, offering precise treatment options for various diseases, including genetic disorders and some cancers. These molecules work by binding to the target genetic sequences, either blocking harmful activity or restoring normal function. Because they are customized to specific genetic targets, oligonucleotide therapeutics represent a personalized approach to medicine, potentially providing new treatments where traditional drugs may not be effective.
