RNA therapeutics

RNA therapeutics are medical treatments that use RNA molecules to target and modify gene expression, offering a way to treat diseases at the genetic level. These therapies can involve delivering small pieces of RNA, like messenger RNA (mRNA) or small interfering RNA (siRNA), to instruct cells on how to produce proteins that can combat diseases or silence harmful genes. This approach has gained attention for its potential in treating conditions like genetic disorders, infections, and cancers, by addressing the underlying causes rather than just symptoms. Notably, mRNA technology has been successfully used in COVID-19 vaccines.
