MicroRNA in human infectious diseases /

This book, edited by Vijay Kumar Prajapati and Rupal Ojha, explores the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in human infectious diseases. It delves into miRNA biogenesis, their functions, and pathological effects when dysregulated. The text highlights miRNAs' involvement in various cancers, including br...
