RNAi Therapeutics: How Do They Work?

This video highlights the MOA of RNAi therapeutics, and how small interfering RNA (siRNA) short oligonucleotides are used to harness the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to silence gene expression. This resource is intended to be viewed in its entirety to support scientific exchange and is not intended as recommendations for clinical practice.
