Scientists at Wuhan University describe research in cancer gene therapy

According to recent research published in the Journal of Laryngology and Otology, "Telomerase is an attractive molecular target because it is active in most malignant cells but undetectable in most normal somatic cells. Small, interfering ribonucleic acid segments have been shown to be effective tools for inhibiting the expression of a given gene within human cells." "In the present study, we examined the effects of short hairpin ribonucleic acid expression vectors on the growth of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in nude mice, and we assessed potential side effects in these animals. Short hairpin ribonucleic acid expression vectors targeting the messenger...
