With big pharma signalling interest in novel RNA-targeted approaches, the term “druggable” is being redefined as technology advances.

A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and other therapies directly to tumors, killing cancer cells without generating ...

Extremely short, or tiny, fragments of RNA - working copies of our genetic code - play a critical role in keeping the immune system in check ...
