Proof Of Concept For Oral Delivery Of Therapeutic Short Interfering RNA Molecules

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) report on a novel approach to the delivery of small bits of genetic material in order to silence genes using “RNA interference” - and in the process, discovered a potent method of suppressing inflammation in mice similar to what occurs in a range of human diseases. In the April 30, 2009 issue of the journal Nature, Professor Michael P.
