MicroRNAs in Brain Cancer: Look at the Forest, Not at the Tree.

Abstract

Much is known about microRNA biology and their involvement in essentially any biological processes in eukaryotic cells, including cancer. Now, to take advantage of them in clinics, a change in perspective is needed and a reappraisal of their features is warranted to re-ignite interest and translational hype. As we recently reported, their strength is in numbers, size and simplicity.
