Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...
The discovery of RNAi dates back to the 1990s when researchers observed unexpected gene silencing in plants and fungi. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a groundbreaking study ...
The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
PHILADELPHIA, PA—Zilebesiran (Alnylam), an investigational therapeutic agent that interferes with messenger RNA to stop the production of angiotensinogen (AGT), lowers systolic blood pressure levels ...
Angiotensinogen is the sole precursor of angiotensin peptides and has a key role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Zilebesiran, an investigational RNA interference therapeutic agent with a ...
In a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers evaluate the efficacy of plazosiran treatment on fasting triglyceride levels in adult patients with mixed hyperlipidemia ...
Editor’s Note: Please see the article for additional information, including other authors, author contributions and affiliations, conflict of interest and financial disclosures, and funding and ...
An RNA interference therapy, targeting ANGPTL3 in the liver, drastically reduced fasting triglycerides in people with mixed hyperlipidemia, the ARCHES-2 trial showed. Used atop usual statins and other ...
Persons with mixed hyperlipidemia are at risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease due to an elevated non–high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level, which is driven by remnant cholesterol ...
