What are the Current Research Trends and Future Directions?
Current research is focused on improving the specificity and delivery of shRNAs. Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being explored to enhance the precision of shRNA targeting. Researchers are also investigating combination therapies, where shRNAs are used alongside conventional treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, to achieve synergistic effects. Moreover, the development of biomarkers to predict patient response to shRNA therapy is an area of active investigation.
