The early 21st century has seen a revolution in RNA biology, bringing with it the prospect of a new class of medicines based on RNA. What are the prospects for developing these RNA-based medicines for the growing medical problem of neurodegenerative disease and what are the challenges to making these new medicines work successfully within the complex environment of the nervous system? Recent progress on RNA silencing of neurodegenerative disease targets and RNAi delivery to the nervous system is encouraging and suggests that clinical evaluation of these therapeutic agents is realistic within the next few years.
