RNA interference provides a new approach for elucidation of gene function. It holds the advantages of quickness, convenience, high effect and high specificity. In spite of these, the application of RNA interference technique in studying the mammalian cells and human disease is still in the beginning. In this paper, a review of the development of RNA interference in mammalian cells and human disease is presented.
