Notes
MicroRNAs (or miRNAs) are small transcripts of 20-24 nucleotides that have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in cancer cells.
Overexpression of specific miRNAs has been linked to the stepwise disease progression during the normal-adenoma-cancer sequence in the colorectal cancer (CRC).
Given their cancer-specific pattern of expression, remarkable stability and presence in blood and other body fluids, miRNAs are considered to be highly promising cancer (...)
