What is it about?

The RNA-mediated gene activation (RNAa) mechanism is triggered by small activating RNA (saRNA) molecules that bind to complementary gene sequences and activate transcription

Why is it important?

The mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi) that displays similarities with RNAa was discovered only two decades ago, and research into this field has already achieved therapeutical results

Perspectives

In the near future, it is expected that versatile delivery systems consisting of saRNA-based drugs enable the setup of personalized therapeutic treatments and targeted molecular therapies
