Functionally-Interdependent Shape-Switching Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles

Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring post-transcriptional gene regulation process that represses the expression of specific genes. Exploiting endogenous RNAi by externally-delivered small-interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising therapeutic for the treatment of various diseases representing several major unmet medical needs. Researchers...

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...
