Abstract

AbstractSmall interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) molecules are used for gene silencing by activating a degradation pathway for transcribed mRNA molecules after they are transcribed. By complementing a highly specific sequence of the mRNA, the siRNA prevent translation of the mRNA into the targeted protein. They have long been the subject of translational research as treatments for various diseases, but only recently has the expectation come closer to realization. This talk will discuss the development of improved siRNA therapies and review their use in the laboratory and some recent and currently active clinical trials.
