Abstract
The complex etiology and heterogeneity of respiratory diseases have made it difficult to design pharmacological reagents that show good efficacy across a diseased population. The discovery of small 'non-coding' RNA molecules (small interfering (si)- and micro-RNAs) that regulate the function of a gene or clusters of genes and the design of synthetic analogues of these molecules may provide new directions for the treatment and characterization of respiratory disorders.
