Excerpt

The discovery of microRNAs is one of the major scientific breakthroughs in recent years and has revolutionized the way we look at gene regulation. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-coding genes via posttranscriptional suppression. Each microRNA can regulate dozens to hundreds of genes, making their regulatory potential enormous. MicroRNAs regulate basic biological processes and have been implicated in the development of the immune system as well as in immune responses. …
