The paper chosen for the Editor's Highlight in this issue is Hepatic MicroRNA Profiles Offer Predictive and Mechanistic Insights after Exposure to Genotoxic and Epigenetic Hepatocarcinogens.The Editor, Michael L. Cunningham, notes that "MicroRNAs are non-coding RNAs that regulate target genes. This report demonstrates that microRNAs are differentially expressed by genotoxic versus nongenotoxic hepatocarcinogens. These data present a new class of biomarkers for the early evaluation of hepatocarcinogenicity of chemicals by both genotoxic as well as nongenotoxic mechanisms."
