Therapeutic oligonucleotides, such as splice switching ONs (SSOs), provide opportunities for treating serious, life-threatening diseases. However, the development of ONs as therapeutic agents has progressed slowly, because difficult cytosolic delivery of SSOs into the cytosol and nucleus remains a major barrier. Photochemical internalization (PCI), a promising strategy for endosomal escape, was introduced to disrupt the endosomal membrane using light and a photosensitizer. Here we constructed Po ...[more]
