Small interfering RNAs in the management of human osteoporosis
Abstract Background Osteoporosis results in reduced bone mass and consequent bone fragility. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used for therapeutic purposes, as molecular targets or as useful markers to test new therapies. Sources of data

Carbon Dots for Efficient Small Interfering RNA Delivery and Gene Silencing in Plants[OPEN]
The development of a formulation for siRNA delivery enables post-transcriptional gene silencing in plants with a simple spray application. The initiation of RNA interference (RNAi) by topically applied small interfering RNA has potential applications for

Endogenous small interfering RNAs in animals [PDF]
Until recently, only nematodes among animals had a well-defined endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) pathway. This has changed dramatically with the recent discovery of diverse intramolecular and intermolecular substrates that generate endo-siRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster and mice.

An influenza virus-inspired polymer system for the timed release of siRNA [PDF]
Small interfering RNA silences specific genes by interfering with mRNA translation, and acts to modulate or inhibit specific biological pathways; a therapy that holds great promise in the cure of many diseases. However, the naked small interfering RNA is

Recent studies on non-coding small RNAs in plants
There are many non-coding small RNAs in plants and animals, which regulate gene expression via direct cleavage of target mRNAs or via inhibition of translation at the post-transcriptional level.

Traffic into silence: endomembranes and post-transcriptional RNA silencing. [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Small RNAs guide Argonaute-containing RNA-induced silencing complexes to target RNAs in a sequence-

Small interfering RNA against BCR-ABL transcripts sensitize mutated T315I cells to nilotinib
Background Selective inhibition of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase by RNA interference has been demonstrated in leukemic cells. We, therefore, evaluated specific BCR-ABL small interfering RNA silencing in BCR-ABL-positive cell lines, including those ...

A small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila [PDF]
Small RNAs have been implicated in numerous cellular processes, including effects on chromatin structure and the repression of transposons. We describe the generation of a small RNA response at DNA ends in Drosophila that is analogous to the recently ...

Global analyses of endonucleolytic cleavage in mammals reveal expanded repertoires of cleavage-inducing small RNAs and their targets. [PDF]
In mammals, small RNAs are important players in post-transcriptional gene regulation. While their roles in mRNA destabilization and translational repression are well appreciated, their involvement in endonucleolytic cleavage of target RNAs is poorly ...
