Why is it important?

The toxicity of nanoparticles has a considerable impact on the levels and functions of miRNAs. The specific toxic properties via microRNA-graphene oxide interactions support biomedical applications of graphene oxide in cancer therapy.

Perspectives

The importance of miRNAs in cancer biology as therapeutic targets, and through regulation of their target genes, suggests further investigations on the interplay between graphene oxide and miRNAs using systems biology and pathway based approaches.
