Antisense Gene Silencing: Therapy for Neurodegenerative Disorders?
Since the first reports that double-stranded RNAs can efficiently silence gene expression in C. elegans, the technology of RNA interference (RNAi) has been intensively exploited as an experimental tool to study gene function. With the subsequent discovery that RNAi could also be applied to mammalian cells, the technology of RNAi expanded from being a valuable experimental tool to being an appli...
متن کاملMaking an impossible mission possible.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is widespread in developing countries. Hypertension is a major contributor of CVD. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk marker in hypertensive populations. Identification of LVH and treatment of high-risk patients can result in more effective use of the limited resources. LVH is diagnosed by echocardiography, often unavailable in developing countries. In Gam...
متن کاملMission impossible?
THERE ARE MOMENTS when experience tells you to be less earnest and direct, and a little more Delphic in style. At these times, half ideas can be useful and a little lack of clarity can be effective.
متن کاملChange Management: Mission Impossible?..
In fact, Stella felt some resentment towards the challenge itself. It was not that she did not 'do creative’; it was more about her fear of unknown, the fear of losing the safety of routine the fear of change. She had read a few articles about resistance to change before and was able to recognise the tell-tale symptoms of resistance not to change per se, but rather to the uncertainties and pote...
متن کاملGene Silencing in Insect Cells Using RNAi.
A technique is described for synthesizing and transfecting double stranded RNA (dsRNA) for RNA interference (RNAi) in Sf-21 cell culture. Transfection with dsRNA only requires an hour and the cells usually recover within 12 h. Suggestions for designing dsRNA are included in the methods. Furthermore, websites are provided for rapid and effective dsRNA design. Three kits are essential for using t...
