Nucleic acid therapeutics

Nucleic acid therapeutics involve using specially designed molecules made of DNA or RNA to treat diseases. These molecules can target and modify genes to correct or disable faulty ones, or they can help the immune system recognize and attack cancer or viruses. By precisely influencing genetic instructions, these therapies offer a promising approach for conditions that traditional drugs might not effectively treat. They include treatments like antisense oligonucleotides, small interfering RNA (siRNA), and mRNA vaccines, all aimed at changing or regulating gene activity to improve health outcomes.
