Core Tip

Core tip: MicroRNAs are implicated in the control of gene expression which enable them a relevant new target for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in a wide variety of pathologic entities, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This manuscript represents an attempt to summarize current knowledge regarding miRNAs and their role in HCC development.
