## Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a new class of small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs, RNAs that do not codify for proteins) that can regulate gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs of protein coding genes and other ncRNA transcripts. miRNAs were recently found to be involved in the pathophysio

## Abstract Gene expression in normal cells is highly regulated by complex gene regulatory networks. Disruption of these networks may lead to cancer. Recent studies have revealed the existence of an abundant class of small nonproteinβcoding regulatory RNAs, known as microRNAs (miRNAs). MiRNAs may r
## Abstract Small noncoding RNAs are key controllers of cellular function, and their deregulation can lead to cancer development and metastatic evolution. This review summarizes the most important examples of small RNAs involved in human cancer and discusses their clinical use as biomarkers and dru
## Abstract **Scope:** Resveratrol (Res) has anticancer activity in prostate cancer (PCa), which can be attributed to modulation of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs). miRNAs/miRs are small nonβcoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression. We have analyzed differential miRNA expression in PCa cells tr
## Abstract ## Background Recent studies have identified unique small ribonucleic acids called microRNAs (miRNAs) in colonic tumour tissue and blood that may accurately diagnose the presence of colorectal cancer and help predict disease recurrence. This review explores the potential role of these
## The role of microRNAs in human cancer Non-coding RNAs have recently been identified as important regulatory elements in mammalian and non-mammalian cells. In human cells, the number of microRNAs has been expected to exceed the one thousand mark. In cancer research, the interest in this class of
