Abstract excerpt
Exon skipping using short antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) is a promising treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Several exon-skipping drugs, including viltolarsen (NS-065/NCNP-01), have been approved worldwide. Immortalized human skeletal muscle cell lines, such as rhabdomyosarcoma cells, are frequently used to screen efficient oligonucleotide sequences. However, rhabdomyosarcoma cells do not...
