Cancer therapy via modulation of micro RNA levels: a promising future.

Abstract:

:Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of naturally occurring ∼ 22 nt long non-coding small RNA molecules that regulate the expression of a wide range of genes involved in development, growth, proliferation and apoptosis. miRNAs are evolutionarily conserved from plants to animals, and they regulate and fine-tune a diverse array of biological processes. Recently, they have been shown to act as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors in a wide variety of tumors. Here, we review the studies that document the role of miRNAs as key players in human cancer and the potential therapeutic modality of exploiting miRNAs for cancer prognosis and treatment.

  • Phage display-derived peptides as therapeutic alternatives to antibodies.

    abstract::Peptide-based drugs are now viable alternatives to biopharmaceuticals, such as antibodies. Most of the past limitations of peptides have been removed by new technologies, so that peptides now face similar hurdles to antibodies. Phage-display technology provides novel peptides that bind protein targets with high affini...
