RNA interference
is under development as an insecticide
what is rna interference? It is a biological process. what does it do? RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. what does rna stand for? Ribonucleic acid how has it evolved? UNANSWERABLE what relation does it have to medicine? It was observed that introducing sense and antisense RNA to par-1 mRNA in "Caenorhabditis elegans" caused degradation of the par-1 message. what relation does it have to cancer? It can provide a more specific approach to inhibit tumor growth by targeting cancer-related genes. how is this disease treated with rna? Chemotherapeutic agents and inhibit cell invasion and migration what are the variations among organisms? Its interference can be both systemic and heritable in plants and "C. elegans", although not in "Drosophila" or mammals. does rna cause viral infections? Yes, HIV, HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B etc how does it stimulate an immune response? It prevent the self-propagation of transposons and induces gene silencing in plants.

RNA interference [SEP] Insecticide
RNAi is under development as an insecticide, employing multiple approaches, including genetic engineering and topical application. Cells in the midgut of some insects take up the dsRNA molecules in the process referred to as environmental RNAi. In some insects the effect is systemic as the signal spreads throughout the insect's body (referred to as systemic RNAi). Animals exposed to RNAi at doses millions of times higher than anticipated human exposure levels show no adverse effects. RNAi has varying effects in different species of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). Possibly because their saliva and gut juice is better at breaking down RNA, the cotton bollworm, the beet armyworm and the Asiatic rice borer have so far not been proven susceptible to RNAi by feeding.
