Targeting TGFβ Signaling to Address Fibrosis Using Antisense Oligonucleotides [PDF]
Fibrosis results from the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix in chronically injured tissue. The fibrotic process is governed by crosstalk between many signaling pathways.

Meeting report: antisense oligonucleotides. [PDF]
The use of antisense oligonucleotides as a therapeutic tool in modulating gene expression represents a newly established strategy for treating diseases. Such oligomers may be designed to complement a region of a specific gene or messenger RNA. Using this approach, oligonucleotides can serve as a potential block of transcription or translation through ...

Antisense Oligonucleotides: Concepts and Pharmaceutical Applications [PDF]
Antisense oligonucleotides are drugs whose mechanism is based on binding to RNA target sequences. For this purpose, they modify the protein expression through steric hindrance and exon omission.

Light-controlled cell-free protein synthesis using phosphorothioate-caged antisense oligonucleotides [PDF]
Cell-free expression of a gene to protein has become a vital tool applied in DNA nanodevices and synthetic cells. Antisense oligonucleotides are often used to induce gene knockdown; however, they have been underexplored for cell-free applications ...

Advances in antisense oligonucleotide development for target identification, validation, and as novel therapeutics [PDF]
Antisense oligonucleotides (As-ODNs) are single stranded, synthetically prepared strands of deoxynucleotide sequences, usually 18–21 nucleotides in length, complementary to the mRNA sequence of the target gene.

CD4 expression decrease by antisense oligonucleotides. Inhibition of rat T CD4+ cell reactivity [PDF]
In previous studies, we have demonstrated the inhibition of CD4 expression in rat lymphocytes treated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) by antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODNs) directed against the AUG start region of the cd4 gene.
