Project Abstract

Abstract
Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with a complex and multifaceted pathogenesis involving various genetic and epigenetic alterations. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression and key players in cancer development and progression. This research project aims to investigate the role of miRNAs in cancer pathogenesis, focusing on their underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic implications. The introduction provides background information on cancer as a major public health concern and introduces the significance of miRNAs in cancer research. The background of the study highlights the importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in cancer development and the potential of miRNAs as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The problem statement emphasizes the need to unravel the complex interplay between miRNAs and cancer pathogenesis to develop new strategies for cancer treatment. The objectives of the study include identifying specific miRNAs involved in cancer pathogenesis, elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs regulate gene expression in cancer cells, and exploring the therapeutic potential of targeting miRNAs in cancer treatment. The limitations of the study are acknowledged, including challenges related to the complexity of cancer biology and the diversity of miRNA functions in different cancer types. The scope of the study encompasses a comprehensive analysis of the current literature on miRNAs in cancer research, focusing on key findings and recent advances in the field. The significance of the study lies in its potential to contribute to the understanding of cancer biology and the development of novel therapeutic approaches targeting miRNAs. The structure of the research is outlined, with a detailed description of the chapters and their respective contents. The literature review chapter provides an in-depth analysis of ten key studies investigating the role of miRNAs in cancer pathogenesis, highlighting their findings and implications for cancer research and therapy. The research methodology chapter details the experimental approaches and techniques used to study miRNAs in cancer cells, including cell culture, molecular biology assays, and bioinformatics analysis. The discussion of findings chapter presents a detailed analysis of seven key findings from the research, emphasizing their significance in advancing our understanding of miRNA-mediated cancer pathogenesis and their potential therapeutic implications. Finally, the conclusion and summary chapter summarizes the main findings of the study, highlights its implications for cancer research and therapy, and suggests future directions for further research in this field. In conclusion, this research project aims to shed light on the role of miRNAs in cancer pathogenesis, elucidate their underlying mechanisms, and explore their potential as therapeutic targets in cancer treatment. By uncovering the intricate interactions between miRNAs and cancer cells, this study seeks to contribute to the development of innovative strategies for combating cancer and improving patient outcomes.
