Foreword
I am delighted to introduce the book microRNA Cancer: From Molecular Biology to Clinical Practice, edited by Dr. Gaetano Santulli. This book makes an ideal companion to microRNA: Basic Science and microRNA: Medical Evidence. In these three volumes, Gaetano has been able to reunite several renowned experts in the microRNA field in order to provide an up-to-date overview of the functional roles of microRNAs in human pathophysiology. microRNAs are small endogenous noncoding RNAs that regulate the gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. These molecules are involved in a plethora of cellular processes, both in physiology and disease. The present book elegantly highlights the functional roles of microRNAs in human cancer discussed in detail by prominent experts in the field, who present intricate and c
