RNA Interference from Biology to Therapeutics de Kenneth A. Howard

RNA Interference from Biology to Therapeutics: Advances in Delivery Science and Technology

Editat de Kenneth A. Howard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 noi 2014
The enormous potential of siRNA as a therapeutic has led to an explosion of interest from the scientific community. There has been intense interest from Big Pharma to capitalise on this new technology but the fact remains that delivery is a key determinant in realizing the full clinical potential of RNA interference. There is an urgent need for better delivery methods to take this technology forward. This book addresses the role of different RNAi molecules in cellular processes as rational for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This book will cover RNAi therapeutic design to optimize siRNA potency and reduce off-target effects and current delivery technologies to overcome both intracellular and extracellular barriers. The reader will gain an insight into RNA interference from the cellular mechanisms to screening to siRNA design right through to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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.
