The discovery of RNAi dates back to the 1990s when researchers observed unexpected gene silencing in plants and fungi. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a groundbreaking study ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

A new possibility for managing cardiovascular disease through RNA interference (RNAi) gene therapies. As cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death globally, this technology ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 60, No. 1 (2009), pp. 315-324 (10 pages) Cyst nematodes are highly evolved sedentary plant endoparasites that use parasitism proteins injected through the stylet ...
Genes provide the instructions that cells use to produce, or synthesize, proteins, which are necessary for the proper functioning of an organism. Protein synthesis from genes occurs in two basic steps ...
Nearly 1.3 billion adults around the world have clinically high blood pressure, many of whom may be unaware that they are living with this condition. Nearly 1.3 billion adults around the world have ...
