RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

Coding RNAs include messenger RNA (mRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA), which encode proteins and silence gene expression, respectively. ASOs are short single-stranded nucleotides that bind to specific messenger RNAs and prevent the production of a particular protein.
