Exploring the Role of MicroRNAs in Cancer Progression and Potential Therapeutic Applications

Project Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play critical roles in gene regulation, and their dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. This research project aims to explore the role of miRNAs in cancer progression and investigate their potential therapeutic applications. The study will focus on understanding how specific miRNAs are involved in regulating key pathways that drive cancer development and metastasis. Additionally, the research will investigate the potential of targeting these miRNAs as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.
