mechanism of RNA interference, or RNAi, within its cells. Its proprietary technology can selectively

its enabling delivery systems, it has achieved an additional level of specificity by delivering its

therapeutic RNA molecules exclusively to target cells. Silence's proprietary RNA chemistries and
