RNAi therapeutics

RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics are treatments that use small molecules called siRNAs to specifically block the expression of disease-related genes. By matching the gene’s message, these siRNAs prevent the body from producing harmful proteins. This targeted approach allows for precise intervention in conditions like genetic disorders, viral infections, and some cancers. Delivered into the body through specialized methods, RNAi therapeutics offer a way to silence problematic genes at their source, providing a promising avenue for new, highly specific treatments with potential fewer side effects.
