RNA Technologies in Cardiovascular Medicine and Research

  • Currently no comprehensive overview on potential and challenges of RNAi and other RNA technologies for basic cardiovascular biology and for the clinical management of patients with cardiovascular disorders

  • Book will be comprehensive in that it does not only treat the phenomenon of RNAi in all its facets (as most recently published books), but does explicitly cover the many other aspects of the “RNA World” (pathogenic and therapeutic potential of microRNAs, aptamer technology, etc.), too

  • With this significantly broadened scope as compared to currently existing books it appears to be an urgently needed new publication

  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
