A Cornucopia of siRNA- and RNAi-based Therapeutics in Development Show Promise Researchers from academia and industry will present the latest developments in the application of interference RNA (RNAi) ...

The discovery of RNAi dates back to the 1990s when researchers observed unexpected gene silencing in plants and fungi. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a groundbreaking study ...

The discovery of siRNA and its role in RNAi was a groundbreaking finding in the field of molecular biology. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a seminal paper describing the phenomenon of ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient genetic regulatory mechanism that modern-day scientists are trying to harness. Since its discovery more than 10 years ago, RNAi R&D has run the gamut from ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a type of posttranscriptional genetic regulation that occurs naturally in the cytoplasm to protect the cell against excess and foreign RNAs. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), an ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of researchers explored how Death Induced by Survival gene Elimination (DISE) through the analysis of ribonucleic acid (RNA)-induced ...

This article is part of a series on viroids. The first, which can be read here, gave an overview of what viroids are and how they replicate. The second article described the plant host range of ...

Nearly 1.3 billion adults around the world have clinically high blood pressure, many of whom may be unaware that they are living with this condition. Nearly 1.3 billion adults around the world have ...

RNA interference is a conserved biological response to double-stranded RNA that regulates gene expression. The response is mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which guide the ...

The study, published in Genomic Psychiatry, identified how stress hormones activate specific RNA molecules called long ...
