Abstract excerpt
RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing by double-stranded RNA. Because the phenomenon is conserved and ubiquitous in mammalian cells, RNAi has considerable therapeutic potential for human pathogenic gene products. Recent studies have demonstrated the clinical potential of logically designed small interfering RNA (siRNA). However, there are still obstacles in using RNAi...
