Reporting in Nature, Kumar and colleagues have now developed a method to target small-interfering RNA (siRNA) to the CNS, providing a safe and non-invasive approach for the delivery of this new ...
The double-stranded RNA is processed by an RNase III family enzyme Dicer, resulting in the generation of an siRNA, a 21–23-nucleotide (nt) RNA duplex, composed of a 19-mer sequence with ...
In SNALPs, the backbone-modified siRNA is encapsulated within a closed shell of a cationic-zwitterionic lipid bilayer, furnished with an outer PEG shield (Figure 2A). The lipid bilayer contains a ...
