The Effect of miRNAs on angiogenesis-dependent Cancer
Angiogenesis,the process of blood vessel formation,has been deemed the ”common denominator” shared by diseases and conditions that harm about a billion people globally.From AIDs to Alzheimer”s,blood vessels are involved one way or another.This realization has triggered a medical revolution among researchers,who are now looking for ways to treat diseases by targeting angiogenesis,the root of many health-related problems.They believe that if the food and oxygen supply is cut off,perhaps harmful diseases can be starved to death.This review offers a glimpse into one mechanistic approach,which regulates blood vessel formation and that scientists are researching as a potential cancer therapeutic-the microRNA (miRNA).MiRNAs are also a recent discovery that has become the subject of intense research over the past several decades and continues to remain on the frontal lobe of scientific minds.
