MiRNA EXPRESSION ASSAYS

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs. Evaluation of miRNA expression profiles has come to play an important role in diverse physiological and pathological processes. In this chapter, we provide an overview of several of the most recently developed assays, methods, and technologies used to identify, characterize, and confirm miRNA expression in human pathologies. We also outline principal workflows for different preparations of biological samples, taking into account advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Furthermore, we discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy of miRNAs as well as their future roles in personalized medicine. This complete picture can help pathologists combine new methods and classical ones for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
