RNA interference therapies – a RISCy business?
This paradigm has suggested a number of therapeutic approaches. For example, gene therapies seek to treat genetic disorders through augmenting the patient’s own complement of genes by the introduction of an exogenous gene, and antisense therapies seek to treat disease by specifically obstructing the expression of a disease-associated gene. However, neither of these approaches has been particula...
متن کاملRNA-based therapeutics: current progress and future prospects.
Recent advances of biological drugs have broadened the scope of therapeutic targets for a variety of human diseases. This holds true for dozens of RNA-based therapeutics currently under clinical investigation for diseases ranging from genetic disorders to HIV infection to various cancers. These emerging drugs, which include therapeutic ribozymes, aptamers, and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), d...
متن کاملRNA Interference Therapies for an HIV-1 Functional Cure
HIV-1 drug therapies can prevent disease progression but cannot eliminate HIV-1 viruses from an infected individual. While there is hope that elimination of HIV-1 can be achieved, several approaches to reach a functional cure (control of HIV-1 replication in the absence of drug therapy) are also under investigation. One of these approaches is the transplant of HIV-1 resistant cells expressing a...
متن کاملStem cell-based therapies for age-related macular degeneration: current status and prospects.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the major causes of irreversible blindness both in developed and developing countries. During the past decades, the managements of neovascular AMD (wet AMD) have dramatically progressed. However, still no effective treatment for non-neovascular AMD (dry AMD) which was characterized by geographic macular atrophy. Recent advances in stem cell scien...
متن کاملCurrent prospects for adult stem cell-based therapies in ocular repair and regeneration.
Recent advances in stem cell biology have led to the exploration of stem cell-based therapies to treat a wide range of human diseases. In the ophthalmic field, much hope has been placed on the potential use of these cells to restore sight, particularly in those conditions in which other established treatments have failed and in which visual function has been irreversibly damaged by disease or i...
