From the reviews:
“The recent discovery of microRNAs … has represented a fundamental turning point in our understanding of gene expression. … In this book … the focus has been placed on this particular topic with a particularly strong emphasis towards ‘wet lab’ and computational approaches. … each chapter is nicely presented with detailed stepwise protocols that can be easily followed without any previous experience with microRNA research … . In summary, this is a book that I would recommend for any researcher to have on the shelf.” (Emanuele Buratti, Molecular Biotechnology, February, 2010)
“This well-written, well-illustrated, and concise book provides cutting-edge information on microRNA and its applications to cancer research from scientists around the world. … It is written for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientists in cancer research, and it is well suited for clinical oncologists and others in the field. … This book will be of immense help for … researchers in the field of cancer research.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2011)
“Offers a compilation of reviews in the emerging field of microRNAs in cancer … . these reviews are concise and informative and provide a starting point to key aspects of this rapidly evolving field. … Each chapter ends with a helpful notes section and a comprehensive list of references for the applications discussed. … this book would be a valuable resource, both for those researchers considering the venture of entering this field, as well as for researchers already working in the field.” (Daniela Sanchez Basseres, Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol. 47 (2), Summer, 2011)
