MicroRNAs in Hematologic Malignancies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Besides normal hematopoiesis, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to be essentially involved in the development of various hematological malignancies. Here, we review the role of miRNAs in lymphoid neoplasias, with focus on lymphomas as well as myeloid malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia.
