Article Synopsis
- Gliomas are tough brain tumors that are hard to treat because of where they grow and how they resist regular therapies.
- Over the last 20 years, more people have been getting gliomas, and scientists are looking at small molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs) to help fight them.
- These miRNAs are tricky because they can mess with important genes and proteins that help control tumor growth, so it's super important to find out which miRNAs to target for better treatment.
