Article Review: Optimized Cholesterol-siRNA Chemistry Improves Productive Loading onto Extracellular Vesicles

As gene therapy and RNA-based treatments advance, small interfering RNA (siRNA) has emerged as a powerful tool for selectively targeting and silencing specific genes, offering significant potential for treating genetic disorders. However, the effective delivery of siRNA remains a major hurdle in translating these therapies into clinical practice. Extracellular vesicles, which are naturally occurring cellular…

A Comprehensive Overview of Boronic Acids & Derivatives

Introduction to Boronic Acids Boronic acids, defined by the general formula R–B(OH)₂, are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a boron atom connected to an alkyl or aryl group ® and two hydroxyl groups (−OH). These compounds are closely related to boric acid and are part of a broader family known as organoboranes, which…
