Core Tip	Cancer stem cells (CSCs) which are believed to be the prerequisite for metastasis and tumor recurrence, are endowed with ability to undergo symmetric cell division, capacity for self-renewability, long term proliferation and resistance to anti-neoplasic therapeutic drugs. Regulatory characteristics of microRNAs (miRNAs) which are the clusters of non-coding RNA molecules, include widespread changes in gene expression through gene silencing at post-transcriptional level and are dysregulated in human cancer. Over the past two decades, miRNAs have gained widespread attention due to their involvement in acquisition of stem cell-like properties, regulation and reprogramming by cancer cells during cancer progression. Many studies are coming up which document miRNAs as novel therapeutic tool in targeting CSCs functions, sensitizing them to apoptotic effects of anti-cancer drugs, and reducing tumor burden with no relapse in current clinical settings.
