Core Tip	MicroRNAs represent one of the important epigenetic modifications for gene expression and play important roles in all aspects of cellular activities. Altered expression of microRNAs has been found in various human diseases including cancer. Aberrant microRNAs can be detected not only intracellularly within the cancer cells, but also extracellularly in plasma of patients, postulating the potential of aberrant microRNAs as promising diagnostic/prognostic markers and attracting therapeutic targets. This review focuses on recent advances in identification, validation and functional analyses for such microRNAs in colorectal cancer, and potential applications of these altered microRNAs.
