Microtargeting cancer metabolism: opening new therapeutic windows based on lipid metabolism reported as: Using microRNAs to target cancer cells By Dawn Hayward Conclusion: MicroRNAs stand out from conventional gene-therapy-based approaches and have a niche in lipid metabolism. They can be designed specifically to target a gene and serve as modulators rather than on/off switches. Increased lipid formation and breakdown in cancer cells creates vulnerability that might be taken advantage of by microRNAs. In addition, cancer as a whole involves a…
