Preface Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are widely used in biomedical research to modulate gene expression in a wide spectrum of cell types. The fact that exogenous siRNAs elicit a predictable effect when transfected into a cell, usually the knock down of a specific target mRNA, suggests that endogenous pathways utilizing endogenous siRNAs are in place.
