ABSTRACT

Utilizing RNAi as a novel therapeutic modality has an enormous

potential to bring the era of personalized medicine from a notion

to reality. However, targeting of RNAi molecules into specific tissues

and cells is still a hurdle. Major attempts are done for developing

carriers that could overcome systemic, local, and cellular barriers.

This chapter will present the recent progress in this emerging field,

focusing on strategies of systemic, active cellular targeting, which is

considered a major challenge for drug delivery.
