RNAi has vast potential in treating a variety of diseases, including:
Cancer: RNAi can be used to silence oncogenes or genes involved in drug resistance, providing a novel approach to cancer therapy. Viral Infections: RNAi can target and degrade viral mRNAs, offering a new way to treat viral diseases like HIV, Hepatitis, and Influenza. Genetic Disorders: RNAi can silence mutant genes responsible for genetic disorders, offering a potential cure for diseases like Huntington's and cystic fibrosis. Neurodegenerative Diseases: RNAi can target and reduce the expression of genes implicated in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
