RNA Therapeutics: The Evolving Landscape of RNA Therapeutics

RNA Therapeutics: The Evolving Landscape of RNA Therapeutics provides a comprehensive overview of RNA therapeutic modalities, from bench-to-bedside, with an emphasis on the increasingly impactful areas of gene therapy, oligonucleotide therapeutics, gene editing and delivery. International leaders in the field examine RNA-based therapeutics tools that have been developed to-date to modulate cellular processes such as transcription, translation and protein function. Approved RNA-based therapies and lessons learned from failed therapies are discussed in-depth, as are evolving advances in RNA biochemical analysis, and similar advances that are enabling clinical application of RNA-based therapies. Later sections discuss delivery technologies, remaining hurdles in research and translation, the therapy development process from the lab to the clinic, and novel RNA-based therapies currently in development. Features leading experts in the field of RNA therapeutics, spanning all classes of RNA therapiesProvides a detailed examination of approved RNA therapies and lessons learned from failed therapeuticsCovers all aspects of therapeutic discovery and preclinical development, as well as clinical translation, manufacturing and regulatory aspects INDICE: Section I: The world of RNA Therapeutics 1.
