摘 要：MicroRNAs are a category of non-coding RNAs, which are single-stranded and short molecules, comprising approximately 22 nucleotides. They play an important role in the regulation of gene expression by interacting with mRNA molecules and suppressing protein synthesis, thereby resulting in a phenomenon called gene silencing. Each microRNA strand regulates the expression of several genes, thereby coordinating cellular pathways. Through such coordination, microRNAs guide activities such as cellular growth and proliferation, embryonic development, immune response, apoptosis, and stem cell differentiation. The unregulated growth of microRNAs leads to disruption of cellular pathways, thereby resulting in diseases such as cancer. However, over the years, research has indicated that the introduction of specific microRNAs into diseased cells can bring about a therapeutic response. This has led to the growth of the Global MicroRNA market owing to the discovery of microRNA use for therapeutic purposes and the development of microRNA-based tools, reagents, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
