Gene Therapy
New findings reported from University of Massachusetts describe advances in gene therapy
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, July 5th, 2007
Data detailed in "RNA helicase A interacts with RISC in human cells and functions in RISC loading" have been presented. "RNA interference is a conserved pathway of sequence-specific gene silencing that depends on small guide RNAs and the action of proteins assembled in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Minimally, the action of RISC requires the endonucleolytic slicer activity of Argonaute2 (Ago2) directed to RNA targets whose sequences are complementary to RISC-incorporated small RNA," scientists writing in the journal Molecular Cell report.
"To identify RISC components in human cells, we developed an affinity-purification strategy to isolate...
