RNA Interference from Biology to Therapeutics

Angebote / Angebote:

The Nobel Prize winning discovery that small interfering RNA can be utilised to control cellular gene expression has propelled the field of RNA interference (RNAi) to the forefront of biomedical science as a potential molecular medicine set to revolutionalise disease treatment.   Harnessing the molecular mechanisms of RNAi and development of delivery technologies is crucial for its transformation into a therapeutic modality, this dependency is the focus of “RNA Interference from Biology to Therapeutics” that gives a comprehensive overview of RNAi biology and state-of-the-art delivery methods relevant to clinical translation of RNAi therapeutics. Key players and shapers in the fields of RNAi and delivery science have been assembled in a single volume to produce a truly unique interdisciplinary text, making it a “must-read” for both students and experts in, and at the interface of, RNAi, pharmaceutical science and medicine. An attractive feature is the “future perspectives” section within each chapter that allows global leaders the opportunity to express their views on the direction the field is moving. Topics covered in the book include miRNA biology and therapeutic exploitation, exosome delivery and clinical translation.“RNA Interference from Biology to Therapeutics” is an up-to-the-minute, highly informative and invaluable text for those actively involved or interested in this fascinating and high-impact field.
