Project Abstract

Abstract
Cancer is a complex and devastating disease that continues to pose significant challenges in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and management. In recent years, the field of biochemistry has made significant advancements in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression. One area of particular interest is the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating gene expression and influencing cancer development. This research project aims to explore the specific role of miRNAs in cancer progression, with a focus on identifying key miRNAs involved in promoting or inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis.
