What are the limitations of RNA interference (RNAi)?
Posted August 15, 2024
Answer
One limitation is the off-target effects. RNAi can sometimes affect unintended genes, leading to potential side effects. Another limitation is possible delivery issues. Introducing siRNA into cells effectively remains a challenge, although advancements in delivery reagents are improving this process.
