Description
Summary:The development of effectively targeted and efficiently delivered nucleic acids promises important advances in the diagnosis and treatment of human malignancies. In Nucleic Acid Therapeutics in Cancer, leading researchers, academic physicians, and clinicians clearly and succinctly review the important issues underlying the therapeutic use of nucleic acid-mediated gene silencing. Topics range from basic methodology and delivery to targeting methods and specific clinical targets. The authors thoroughly explain the latest developments in RNA biology, as well as the underpinnings of RNA interference, oligodeoxynucleotide delivery into cells, and strategies for targeting these molecules to accessible regions within the mRNA. They also provide some examples of how these new therapeutic compounds are being used clinically. Concise yet highly readable, Nucleic Acid Therapeutics in Cancer offers those who require a cutting-edge critical synthesis not only a state-of-the-art account of this promising field, but also an illuminating introduction to their emerging therapeutic uses.
