These "hyperselective-action" drugs would allow the direct targeting of specific sites of relevant neural activity, thereby maximizing the efficacy (or technically the potency) of the drug within the clinical target and minimizing adverse effects.

It was observed that when cancer cells were subjected to transfection with the precursor of miR-129, GALNT1 was subsequently down regulated by the direct targeting of miR-129.

This strategy enhances the ability to selectively analyze low abundance constituents through direct targeting.

"In the Middle East crisis, there wasn't any direct targeting of foreigners, but we did find people who were running out of medication, and two women in Egypt, both 36 weeks pregnant."

(1) Deterrence based on the direct targeting of urban populations is morally unacceptable; it must be opposed in all cases.

The increased cell death induced by direct targeting of mutant SOD1 to mitochondria supports this possibility [ 27 ] .
