RNA interference is a promising tool that can block expression of key genes involved in disease mechanisms, but its clinical potential has been unclear. In the February 10 Nature Medicine, Erwei Song and colleagues at Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, show that RNA interference (RNAi) targeting the gene Fas (also known as Tnfrsf6, encoding the apoptosis Fas receptor) can protect mice from fulminant hepatitis (Nature Medicine, DOI:10.1038/nm828, February 10, 2003).
