Abstract:
RNA interference is a new technology that allows the production of therapeutic double-stranded RNA molecules (siRNA) that can specifically prevent the production of a particular gene product in a potent and efficient manner. It accomplishes this task by activating a native cellular defense mechanism, which when triggered results in the prevention of gene product production before the protein is made. Because of this amplification, only small quantities of siRNA are required to produce a silencing of gene production. siRNA designed to reduce production of angiogenic molecules provides potent therapies for ocular neovascularization in patients with age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.

RNA Interference
This process occurs naturally in cells, often through the activity of genomically-encoded microRNAs. Researchers can take advantage of this mechanism by introducing synthetic RNAs to deactivate specific genes for research or therapeutic purposes. For example, RNAi could be used...

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the ATP-dependent...
