Description

The discovery of microRNAs and its�role as gene expression regulators�in human carcinogenesis represents one of the most important scientific achievements of the last decade. More recently, other non-coding RNAs have been discovered and�its implications in cancer are emerging as well, suggesting a broader than anticipated involvement of the non-coding genome in cancer. Moreover, completely new and unexpected functions for microRNAs are being revealed, leading to the identification of new anticancer molecular targets. This book represents a comprehensive guide on non-coding RNAs and cancer, spanning from its role as cancer biomarkers, to providing the most useful bioinformatic tools, to�presenting some of the most relevant discoveries, which indicates how these fascinating molecules act as fine orchestrators of cancer biology.Typham this is the title: Non-coding RNAs and Cancer
