RNAi

Hi Group,

I watched NOVA on PBS over the weekend, and a segment on RNAi,
which stands for RNA interference (RNA needs no explanation, right?)
was of immense interest. RNA interference refers to an immune
response at the intracellular level (how the infected cell can fight
back), and the potential for therapies is amazing. Here's a link to
the PBS site which explains it far better than I ever could:

Check out "The RNAi Cure", where there's promising treatments for
Hep C in development (admittedly a few years away yet, but still).

I'm excited by this!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

Hugs to all,

Brooke
