Exploring the Role of MicroRNAs in Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Applications

Project Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play critical roles in the regulation of gene expression and have emerged as key players in cancer development and progression. This research project aims to explore the intricate role of miRNAs in cancer progression and their potential therapeutic applications. The study will focus on understanding how dysregulation of miRNAs can contribute to the initiation, growth, and metastasis of various types of cancer, as well as the potential of miRNAs as therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.
