Therapeutic Potential of microRNAs

microRNAs (or miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs acting as one of the most important regulatory molecules in the cellular environment. Great variety of miRNA targets and wide impact on the cellular networks give these small molecules an enormous potential to be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In this chapter, we focus on microRNAs biogenesis and function, with specific emphasis on their dysregulation in human diseases and potential therapeutic application, and summarize the most recent advances in the field.
