RNA interference, growth and differentiation appear normal in African trypanosomes lacking Tudor staphylococcal nuclease. [PDF]
, 2010 Ribonucleases play important roles in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The Dicer endonuclease converts double-stranded (ds)RNA into small interfering (si)RNA and the Slicer endonuclease, as a component of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC ...

The optimal concentration of siRNA for gene silencing in primary cultured astrocytes and microglial cells of rats [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010 BackgroundSmall interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have been used to knockdown specific gene expression in various cells. Astrocytes and microglial cells play a key role in fundamental central nervous system functions and in chronic neuroinflammation. The aims of

Defective interfering particles of parainfluenza virus subtype 5 and interferon induction [PDF]
, 2015 The innate immune response is the first line of defence against virus infection. Cells contain a diverse array of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) that are able to recognise multiple pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) that present ...

Phenotypic Alteration of BMDM In Vitro Using Small Interfering RNA
Cells, 2022 Autologous macrophage transfer is an emerging platform for cell therapy. It is anticipated that conventional macrophage reprogramming based on ex vivo polarization using cytokines and ligands of TLRs may enhance the therapeutic effect.

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]
, 2010 For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

Delivery of therapeutic small interfering RNA: The current patent-based landscape
Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022 Implementing small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising therapy because it silences disease-related genes theoretically. However, the efficient delivery of siRNA is challenging, which limits its therapeutic applications. Various pharmaceutical delivery

The specifics of small interfering RNA specificity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 The discovery of transgene silencing in plants and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) interference in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans has led to the latest revolution in molecular biology, RNA interference (RNAi). Over 10 years ago it was noted that several transgenic plant lines each containing the same ectopic transgene not only failed to be expressed but ...
