Inducible Activation Nucleic Acid Hybrid Switch for Conditional Generation of Oligonucleotides

Abstract: Gene therapy research has yielded FDA-approved treatments for an array of diseases. However, challenges facing nucleic-acid based therapeutics include non-specific delivery and degradation of the nanoparticles. NCI investigators have developed a solution to address these challenges in their novel nucleic-based therapy based on the conditional...

siRNA Delivery Using Hexameric Tetrahedral RNA Nanostructures for Gene Silencing

Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological response to double-stranded RNA that regulates expression of protein-coding genes and is a natural mechanism for gene silencing. Delivery of short, interfering RNA (siRNA) leads to RNAi of the targeted genes. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in collaboration with researchers at the...
