siRNA Drugs: Silencing Disease-Causing Genes
siRNA-based drugs use RNA interference technology to selectively silence specific genes involved in disease. They are widely studied for genetic disorders, cancer, and metabolic conditions.
This approach allows highly targeted treatment with reduced side effects compared to traditional therapies.
FAQs
Q1: What do siRNA drugs target?
A1: Specific messenger RNA sequences.
Q2: Are they considered targeted therapy?
A2: Yes, they act at the genetic level.
