... RNAi offers the possibility of treatments of cancer and AIDS by switching off the genes which cause them.
The history of RNAi has a foundation in something very different than medicine. ...
How does RNAi work exactly? ... The siRNAs are thought to be the main cause of RNAi. ... The simplicity of RNAi silencing can be used on many genes at the same time and has started a wave of new studies in biology. ... The first solid evidence of the therapeutic possibilities of RNAi was for hepatitis. ...
Perhaps most importantly is the possibility of RNAi to fight cancer. Gregory Hannon and his colleagues have used RNAi to silence the expression of p53 which is known as the ‘guardian of the genome’. ... Cancer institutes worldwide intend to study the entire genome with regards to RNAi to find which genes become over-expressed by each type of cancer.
