Unraveling the mystery of cancer by secretory microRNA: Horizontal microRNA transfer between living cells
microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as a fine-tuner in a wide array of biological processes, including development, organogenesis, metabolism, and homeostasis. Deregulation of miRNA leads to the disease status, especially cancer. This occurs through a variety of mechanisms, such as genetic alter...
