From Nobel Prize to clinical practice: An update on messenger RNA-based therapies for lipid disorders

  • Ian R Hamilton-Craig

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The biological mechanism of gene silencing by messenger RNA (mRNA) inhibition has been harnessed to develop therapies to target specific proteins, such as those involved in lipid metabolism. The first of these, inclisiran, is available in Australia for reducing levels of LDL-cholesterol and is PBS listed for people with familial and nonfamilial hypercholesterolaemia.
