microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in developmental and physiological processes by regulating target gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. It is therefore not surprising that deregulation or dysregulation of miRNA expression could result in specific disease phenotypes. Increased interest in the function of miRNAs in tumor initiation and progression has rapidly propelled research forward as new technologies, or the adaptation of old technologies, has allowed researchers to screen both more broadly and more specifically for aberrant miRNA expression in cancers.

This webinar will focus on some key cancer-related miRNAs currently under investigation, as well as methods for detection and characterization of miRNAs, particularly those suspected to be involved in tumorigenesis. Progress towards the development of possible cancer biomarkers will be discussed, as will problems and hurdles that miRNA researchers might encounter and how to overcome them.
