title: Small RNAs guide hematopoietic cell differentiation and function.
abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression that help direct normal differentiation and malignant transformation of hematopoietic cells. This review summarizes our current knowledge of how miRNAs function in normal and malignant hematopoiesis and how miRNAs might be applied for disease treatment.
