The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
Using RNA to interfere with a gene’s expression of disease-causing proteins is a validated therapeutic approach, but so far, the products in this drug class only address liver proteins. Reducing ...
A new possibility for managing cardiovascular disease through RNA interference (RNAi) gene therapies. As cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death globally, this technology ...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, and combating this range of complex disorders presents numerous challenges. Scientists seek innovative approaches to address this ...
RNA interference – RNAi – functions specifically to silence, or deactivate, genes. Among other applications, it promises to be groundbreaking as a way to treat infections of bees by a commercially ...
ST. LOUIS – Hepatitis B virus, a killer of more than one million people each year, is a notoriously wily virus, often lingering and resurfacing even after treatment. But, thanks to a new class of ...
