Summary:

"This book describes the development of biological RNA therapeutics their potential to transform modern medicine. The first section introduces the inner workings of RNA in our cells, how it is produced, what it is used for, and what happens when things go wrong. This section will familiarize the reader with the general principles of RNA biology and provide context through a few well-known diseases. The second section focuses on emerging RNA therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides, double-stranded RNAs, and now the now widespread use of mRNA vaccines. The final section will describe RNA-guided genome editing as a new therapeutic intervention. This section will focus on CRISPR-cas9, how RNA acts to guide the enzyme to mutated DNA, and the potential for this approach to combat diseases that have long plagued the medical community"-- Provided by publisher.
