Japanese researchers proposed using RNA interference for correcting a mistake in the genetic code of patients with Fukuyama Muscular Dystrophy (FCMD).
Elevated lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease that affects one in five people worldwide, but currently lacks approved therapies. Here, Dr Giles Campion, EVP, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer of Silence Therapeutics, describes the company’s approach to developing an investigational siRNA therapy designed…
