Abstract

MicroRNA (miRNA) are small, single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecules containing 20 to 25 nucleotides, present in all body fluids; they can be used as biomarkers, but much more than this as a therapy to replace missing protein or to downregulate excess or aberrant synthesis; here we report possible insight to future studies, needed in this exciting field.

Keywords: MicroRNA, antagomir, exosomes, agomir, miRNA-sponge, non-coding RNA.
