Therapeutic potential of RNAi

Series edited by Alan M. Gewirtz

Since the discovery in 1998 that gene expression could be silenced by RNA interference (RNAi), RNAi has become a routine tool for investigating the function of individual genes and gene products in the laboratory. This Review Series highlights some of the challenges that remain to be overcome if the medicinal promise of post-transcriptional gene silencing with short-interfering RNA and other molecules capable of inducing RNAi is to be fulfilled.
