The Medicines of the Future Will Be Made of RNA
Ғылым және технология
Every once in a while, medicine changes in a fundamental way, and we may not realize it while it’s happening. I wasn’t around in 1928 when Fleming discovered penicillin, or in 1953 when Watson, Crick, and Franklin characterized the double-helical structure of DNA.
But looking at Medicine today, there are essentially two places where I think we will see, in retrospect, that we were at a fundamental turning point. One is artificial intelligence, which gets so much attention and hype that I will simply say yes, this will change things, stay tuned.
The other is a bit more obscure, but I suspect it may be just as impactful. That other thing is RNA therapeutics. The medicines of the future.

It's called small interfering RNA, not small inhibitory RNA. Otherwise, nice video as always!
How can a single injection have such lasting result? Why isn't the siRNA consumed and the cell 'functions' returned to normal?

The LINE-1 pathway in which mRNA can be reversed transcribed into DNA copies which are inserted into the genes of that cell is a probable explanation. That way, the cells can keep generating new mRNA for new protein.
0:16 I think CRISPR should be on your list 🙂
