Abstract

Much is known about microRNA biology and their involvement in essentially any biological processes in eukaryotic cells, including cancer. Now, to take advantage of them in clinics, a change in perspective is needed and a reappraisal of their features is warranted to re-ignite interest and translational hype. As we recently reported, their strength is in numbers, size and simplicity.

Keywords: MicroRNA; cancer; clusters; gene therapy.
