MicroRNA in Cancer [Paperback]

The field of microRNA biology is really emerging in the last couple of years. Several investigators highlighted the importance of miRNAs in cancer. Although there is so much literature on microRNAs exist, a comprehensive book is still not available. Thus this book will be a great use to the scientists in the field of cancer biology. In addition, this book will be a good source of information for undergraduate, graduate students who want to develop their research careers in cancer biology.

This book explores the rapidly emerging field of microRNA biology, highlighting the importance of microRNAs in cancer. This first reference of its kind will benefit working scientists in cancer biology, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
