Circulating MicroRNAs: functional biomarkers for melanoma prognosis and treatment by Su Yin Lim, Suzanah C. Boyd, Russell J. Diefenbach, Helen Rizos

“…The expression of circulating miRNAs may parallel the cellular composition and dynamic activity within the tumour microenvironment and reveal systemic immune responses. The functional complexity of miRNAs—where a single miRNA can regulate multiple messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to fine tune fundamental processes, and a single mRNA can be targeted by multiple miRNAs—underscores their broad significance and impact. …”

The functions of immune system-derived miRNAs in cardiovascular diseases by Albert Sufianov, Murad Agaverdiev, Andrey Mashkin, Tatiana Ilyasova

“…MicroRNAs (miRNAs), particularly those derived from the immune system, have emerged as vital regulators of cellular functions within the cardiovascular landscape. This review focuses on ''immuno-miRs,'' a class of miRNAs that are highly expressed in immune cells, including T cells, B cells, NK cells, neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages, and their significant role in controlling immune signaling pathways. …”
