Exogenous RNAs as Potential Pharmacological Agents

Abstract

Exogenous RNAs alter interspecifically the transmission of signals in organisms by regulating the expression of their genes. This process leads to phenotypic cellular changes, thus representing a possible new tactic for the treatment of various diseases. Exogenous RNAs are a promising approach to the creation of a fundamentally new class of drugs or biologically active additives (for plant exogenous RNAs) with a promising pharmacological activity and minimal side effects.
