## Abstract ## Objective RNA interference is a process in which genes can be silenced sequenceβspecifically. In mammals, RNA interference can be invoked by introduction of small (19β21βnucleotide) doubleβstranded RNA molecules known as small interfering RNA (siRNA) into cells. Thereby, siRNA offer

The antiarthritic effect of a hydroalcohol extract of Pterodon pubescens (HEPp) seeds was tested using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA1/J mice treated with daily oral doses of HEPp in different schedules. The preventive treatment significantly reduced both the arthritic index (AI) and the CI
## Abstract ## Objective Progressive muscle weakness is a common feature in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, little is known about whether the intrinsic contractile properties of muscle fibers are affected in RA. This study was undertaken to investigate muscle contractility and th
Activation of microglial cells occurs during the pathogenesis of various neurologic diseases. However, the mechanisms of activation in vivo are still elusive. We infused adult rats intravenously with interferon-g and demonstrated microglial cell activation after three days of treatment. We show for
