54. What is Farabursen? A Research Review
Monday, 2 February, 2026
A promising new experimental medication for PKD is generating a lot of excitement — and for good reason. In this research review episode, Diana breaks down what Farabursen is, how it works at the genetic level, and why targeting microRNA may help increase polycystin protein production and potentially halt cyst growth. If you want a science-backed look at where PKD treatment may be headed — this episode is for you! You’ll learn a simple explanation of DNA, genes, and protein signaling, what early studies are showing so far, what phase 3 trials may look like, and who may qualify to participate.
