Advancing AOCs to transform the delivery of RNA therapeutics
In this article, Dr Michael Flanagan discusses how a new class of medicines called antibody oligonucleotide conjugates (AOCs) have the potential to overcome a major challenge encountered with many established RNA-based therapeutics: delivery to tissues outside the liver. Last year, AOCs demonstrated the first-ever successful targeted delivery of RNA into…
