👥Biography 个人简介
Pier Paolo Pandolfi is a cancer biologist who has made seminal contributions to understanding tumor suppressor networks and the role of non-coding RNAs in cancer. His ceRNA hypothesis proposed that long non-coding RNAs and circular RNAs compete for microRNA binding, creating regulatory networks that control cancer gene expression. This framework has generated new therapeutic and biomarker strategies.
