Targeting Therapeutics to Harmful Genes Using Nanoparticles – Technology Networks
Chemical engineering researchers have created several different types of nanoparticles and analyzed them for the ability to deliver and protect siRNA-based therapeutics…
Viruses attack the body by sending their genetic code — DNA and RNA — into cells and multiplying. A promising class of therapeutics that uses synthetic nucleic acids to target and shut down specific, harmful genes and prevent viruses from spreading is gaining steam.
However, only a handful of siRNA, or other RNA interference-based therapeutics have been approved. One of the main problems is getting the siRNA into the body and guiding it to the target.
