title: miRNAs, cancer, and stem cell division.
abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to regulate the expression of genes involved in the control of development, proliferation, apoptosis, and the stress response. As a cluster of recent Nature papers now show, altered expression of specific miRNA genes contributes to the initiation and progression of cancer.
