摘要: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are master regulators of the genome, controlling most fundamental cellular processes. Several hundred studies have demonstrated their dysregulation across a range cancer types, and translational follow-on led to development putative ncRNA biomarkers for identification staging cancer. Additionally, mechanistic clearly identified key functions ncRNAs in progression, highlighted actionable pathways be targeted by ncRNA-directed therapies. Consequently, ncRNA-derived therapeutics is now entering later stage clinical trials. In this chapter, we describe classification ncRNAs, biology, potential applications.
