Under Developmental Biology Topic: microRNAs as oncogenes and tumor suppressors.

The above topic was extracted from the 'Department of Environmental Toxicology, The Institute of Environmental and Human Health, Texas Tech University, Lubbock. TX 79409." This is an amazing new development in Biological Science. According to above science article said and I quoted '

"Cancer is one of the most serious diseases in the United States and around the world. There are five major steps for cancer development: initiation, promotion, malignant conversion, progression, and metastasis. Many factors influence the development of cancers: some inhibit tumor development (tumor suppressors), and some promote cancer development (cancer inducers). The formation of cancer is the combined interaction of both tumor suppressors and cancer inducers."
 As we all know that Cancer is one of the fast killing disease in United State and all over the world and many scientific researches and studies were being conducted daily to find an end to the mysterious killing disease, After checking the above topic, I was happy and also willing to share this information to people in my blog and hope it well someone reading it. The brief abstract talks about the important of microRNAs as new class of non-protein-coding, small RNAs, endogenous, which is an important regulatory molecule in animals and plants that regulates the gen expression by translational repression in stage of mRNA cleavega, and mRNA decay by miRNA.
