An array of gene silencing pathways share a common early step: Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into approximately 20-25 nucleotide fragments that direct the silencing machinery to specific targets. A recent report in Cell reveals how Dicer's two RNase III domains collaborate during dsRNA processing and sets the stage for a deeper ...

Filtering of Ineffective siRNAs and Improved siRNA Design Tool [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used to suppress gene expression and possess many potential applications in therapy, but how to design an effective siRNA is still not clear. Based on the MPI (Max-Planck-Institute) basic principles, a number of siRNA design tools have been developed recently.

Targeted Delivery of siRNA [PDF]
Therapeutic application of siRNA requires delivery to the correct intracellular location, to interact with the RNAi machinery within the target cell, within the target tissue responsible for the pathology. Each of these levels of targeting poses a significant barrier.

Retrovirus-delivered siRNA [PDF]
The ability of transfected synthetic small interfering (si) RNAs to suppress the expression of specific transcripts has proved a useful technique to probe gene function in mammalian cells. However, high production costs limit this technology's utility for many laboratories and experimental situations.

Mathematical Modeling: A Tool for Optimization of Lipid Nanoparticle-Mediated Delivery of siRNA
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been used to successfully deliver small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to target cells in both preclinical and clinical studies and currently are the leading systems for in vivo delivery. Here, we propose the use of an ordinary

Addis Ababa/Finfinee: A Blueprint towards Twin-city Administration
This article analyses the challenge of Addis Ababa´s double status – both as capital of Ethiopia and that of the Regional State of Oromia. It delves into the unresolved issue of the special interest of Oromia in Addis Ababa/Finfinnee.

Migration studies often neglect return mobility or, on the contrary, the latter becomes the object of studies that do not consider the country where migrants settled, sometimes during years. Building on a critical understanding of “return”, this research

MIL-101-NH2-mediated nucleic acid delivery and gene silencing
Nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, can participate in the regulation of gene expression in all organisms. However, those nucleic acid molecules are easily to be degraded. If they are directly administered orally or intravenously, their bioavailability
