Nucleic acid therapeutics
The discovery of ribozymes by Cech and Altman has fundamentally changed the view of the function of RNA in chemistry, biology, and medicine (1–3). Prior to this discovery, RNA had been viewed as a passive molecule that only carried information or provided structure to RNA-protein complexes. It is now clear that RNA can act as an enzyme and is capable of catalyzing RNA splicing and cleavage, as ...
متن کاملNucleic acid therapeutics
As alterations in gene expression have become a better understood component of normal development and disease pathogenesis, transcription factors and other regulators of gene expression have become an increasingly attractive target for potential therapeutic intervention. Transcription factors are generally nuclear proteins that play a critical role in gene regulation and can exert either a posi...
متن کاملNucleic acid therapeutics
Atherosclerosis arises from an excessive fibroproliferative-inflammatory response to injury of the artery wall and typically evolves over decades (1). Smooth muscle cells play a central role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Their ability to migrate from the medial compartment of the artery wall to the intima, where they proliferate, accumulate lipid, and generate extracellular mat...
متن کاملNucleic Acid Aptamers: Research Tools in Disease Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Aptamers are short sequences of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) or peptide molecules which adopt a conformation and bind cognate ligands with high affinity and specificity in a manner akin to antibody-antigen interactions. It has been globally acknowledged that aptamers promise a plethora of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Although use of nucleic acid aptamers as targeted therapeutics or med...
