Role of microRNAs in B cell differentiation and neoplastic transformation.

Most of the lymphomas diagnosed in the Western world arise from the malignant transformation of mature B lymphocytes. microRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional critical regulators of numerous biological processes and their deregulation has been linked to multiple human pathologies, including cancer. The possibility of manipulating the expression of miRNAs in vivo by the delivery of miRNAs mimics or miRNA inhibitors has opened new therapeutic perspectives for the
