RNA Interference Technique Inhibits Prion Disease

December 2nd 2006 05:30
Turning off a prion gene in mice using an RNA Interference technique prevents those mice from developing a prion disease. At this time, it's not viable in humans, but researchers hope to apply their findings to humans in the future.

Examples of prion diseases are scrapie and mad cow disease.

Adele,

It seems mice are doing better with modern research than we are!

We have to develop techniques which allow us to move forward faster.

Yes, it seems we can cure just about any mouse disease out there.
