Abstract

Interference RNAs are non-coding RNAs produced naturally o synthetically that temporarily inhibit the gene expression of specific genes. With this technology, it is possible to introduce a siRNA molecule against a specific mRNA into the cells and reduce the synthesis of the protein encoded on that mRNA. This novel strategy has been used by several researchers worldwide in the medical area as treatment of many hereditary and acquired diseases. Here we presented several examples of the successful use of siRNA in several diseases with excellent and promising results offering a new field in the treatment of many diseases without effective treatment for its cure to this present day.
