The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of short interfering RNA containing triazole functionalized sphingolipid-based derivatives
(2021-12-01)
RNA Interference (RNAi) is a natural cellular process that silences the expression of a target gene in a sequence-specific manner by mediating targeted mRNA degradation. One of the main challenges in RNAi research is ...
The synthesis and in vivo evaluation of chemically modified siRNAs that contain red-shifted internal azobenzene derivative spacers for selective and tunable photocontrol of activity without UV light
(2021-08-01)
Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are biopolymers that are used for post-transcriptional gene regulation and act as endogenous defenses against attack from viruses and dsRNA parasites. The siRNA field is making advances for ...
Development and characterization of chemical modifications for siRNA strand selection
(2021-12-01)
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) are non-coding, double-stranded RNA that enable efficient gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms. The primary effector of RNAi is an RNA-guided nuclease, Ago2, which selects ...
Synthesis, characterization and biological investigation of self-delivering and modified short interfering RNAs (siRNAs)
(2021-07-01)
Aberrant gene expression is a hallmark of disease, so it is of great interest to develop targeted therapies that provide a means to regulate gene expression. The RNA interference pathway serves as a natural defense system ...
