17 May, 2018 Nonclinical Research Published in Nature Biotechnology Describing REVERSIR Platform for Potent and Rapid Reversal of siRNA Activity for Tailored Control of RNAi Pharmacology

One of the main features of our ESC GalNAc-siRNA conjugates platform is potent and durable target knockdown in the liver sustained for several months in humans. In some cases, RNAi therapeutics may benefit from a technology that enables reversal of target mRNA knockdown and provides finer control over pharmacology, a desired attribute for therapeutic entities. REVERSIR^TM molecules are GalNAc-conjugated, short, single-stranded, high affinity oligonucleotide constructs designed to recognize and bind to the complementary, RISC-bound antisense strand of siRNAs, thereby leading to rapid and complete reversal of RNAi-mediated target gene silencing activity in vivo.
