RNA Therapeutics: The future of personalized medicine

RNA-based therapeutics has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. These therapies directly target the causative agents or pathways of the disease. However, in order to understand the various ways in which RNA-based therapeutics can be used, it is important to understand what they are and the ways in which they can prevent and/or cure diseases. Discussing previous types of research in regard to RNA therapeutics is also vital as new research aims to expand on information previously discovered, to further enhance the idea and find new ways for RNA based therapeutics to be used.

RNA-based therapeutics can be useful in treating a plethora of diseases. The effectiveness of personalized medicine with RNA-based therapeutics revolutionizes healthcare and quality of life and will continue to do so as more research is done. Although RNA therapeutics has its challenges, they are continuously evolving and as technology progresses, they hold strong potential to become a very valuable tool in the future of medicine.
