MicroRNAs in Cancer

by Cesar Lopez-Camarillo (Editor), Laurence A. Marchat (Editor)

Overview

MicroRNA (miRNA) biology is a cutting-edge topic in basic as well as biomedical research. This is a specialized book focusing on the current understanding of the role of miRNAs in the development, progression, invasion, and metastasis of diverse types of cancer. It also reviews their potential for applications in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and th
