Dr. Shiwei Duan’s study explores the significant role of miRNA in cancer biology. MiRNA, a non-coding RNA, regulates gene expression in almost all known cancer cells, impacting cell growth, development, and disease progression. Advances in RNA Sequencing Technology and CRISPR/Cas9 have enhanced our understanding of miRNA mechanisms. MiRNAs can be used as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, and as therapeutic targets to overcome drug resistance. The study highlights the potential of miRNA therapies and the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to further explore the molecular mechanisms of miRNA in cancer research, offering new possibilities for improved cancer treatment.
