Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) technology has provided forceful therapeutic modalities to specific knockdown of the genes' expression related to diseases. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can start a process that specifically degrades and silences the expression of cognate mRNAs. These RNA interference processes could effectively adjust many biological processes, including immune responses. Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialist antigen-presenting cells with potent functions in regulating innate and adaptive immunity. SiRNAs performed vital roles in coordinating immune processes mediated by DCs. This review describes the findings that shed light on the significance of siRNAs in DC immune regulation and highlight their potential applications for improving DC-based immunotherapies.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
