MicroRNA “The discovery of MicroRNA can be equated with the idea that we’ve known for years that cars existed and only recently discovered they have a transmission. It’s that fundamental.” Philip Sharp, Ph.D., Nobel Laureate from M.I.T.

MicroRNA News from Annual Meeting 2010 miR-21 and miR-106a are associated with an overall poor prognosis and that overexpressions of miR-181b and miR-203 are associated with poor outcomes in blacks for colorectal cancer MicroRNA-31 (miR-31) repressed specific tumor suppressors and, therefore, may be a novel pharmacologic target for lung cancer therapy and chemoprevention.

MicroRNA News from Annual Meeting 2010 High levels of miR-21 were significantly correlated with poor response to Herceptin.
