Identification and functional analysis of a testis‑biased gene encoding serine/arginine‑rich protein in silkworm, Bombyx mori [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2019 Spermatogenesis is a fundamental process in sexual reproduction. In this study, we cloned a 716-bp cDNA of a testis-biased gene in Bombyx mori, named as BmRS-TS, which encodes a polypeptide of 164 amino acids, containing 26.7% arginine and serine ...

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]
, 2016 In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

RNA-Based Therapeutics: From Antisense Oligonucleotides to miRNAs
Cells, 2020 The first therapeutic nucleic acid, a DNA oligonucleotide, was approved for clinical use in 1998. Twenty years later, in 2018, the first therapeutic RNA-based oligonucleotide was United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. This promises to

RNA interference approaches for treatment of HIV-1 infection. [PDF]
, 2015 HIV/AIDS is a chronic and debilitating disease that cannot be cured with current antiretroviral drugs. While combinatorial antiretroviral therapy (cART) can potently suppress HIV-1 replication and delay the onset of AIDS, viral mutagenesis often leads to

The NS3 protein of rice hoja blanca virus suppresses RNA silencing in mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2008 The NS3 protein of the tenuivirus rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) has previously been shown to represent the viral RNA interference (RNAi) suppressor and is active in both plant and insect cells by binding short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in vitro.

Antiviral RNA Interference against Orsay Virus Is neither Systemic nor Transgenerational in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
, 2015 UNLABELLED: Antiviral RNA-mediated silencing (RNA interference [RNAi]) acts as a powerful innate immunity defense in plants, invertebrates, and mammals. In Caenorhabditis elegans, RNAi is systemic; i.e., RNAi silencing signals can move between cells and ...

The South American fruit fly : an important pest insect with RNAi-sensitive larval stages [PDF]
, 2019 RNA interference (RNAi) technology has been used in the development of approaches for pest control. The presence of some essential genes, the so-called "core genes," in the RNAi machinery is crucial for its efficiency and robust response in gene ...
