MicroRNA and Metastasis in Retinoblastoma

Fengmei et al. contributed in a significant way towards the preliminary phases of a potentially novel and effective cancer treatment strategy with their paper titled MicroRNA-21 Down-regulates Rb1 Expression by Targeting PDCD4 in Retinoblastoma. This outcome may not have even been the initial goal of the research project, but a human health application of their findings could lead the way for cancer treatment through modulation of MicroRNA in cancerous retinoblastoma cells.
