Distinct methylation levels of mature microRNAs in gastrointestinal cancers

In cancer it is assumed that microRNAs recognise and regulate their targets uniformly. Here, the authors show that in gastrointestinal cancers methylation of microRNAs may impact their stability, and that levels of microRNA methylation are distinct in pancreatic cancer patients compared to healthy c...
