MicroRNAs regulate several functions of normal tissues and malignancies
MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are a cluster of naturally occurring small non-coding RNA molecules of 19–24 nucleotides in length. miRs control gene expression post-transcriptionally by binding to a specific site at the 3′-UTR of target mRNA, which results in mRNA cleavage and translation repression.
