Published in 1998, the scientific work entitled 'RNA interference' is now widely used in basic science as a method of studying gene function. It is currently being studied as a treatment for diseases caused by viruses, heart disease, cancer and many other diseases.
RNA interference occurs naturally in plants, animals and humans.
According to the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, this process is very important in regulating gene activity and helping to fight viral infections.
