Abstract

RNA is a substance with various biological functions. It serves as blueprint for proteins and shuttles information from the genes to the protein factories of the cells. However, these factories-the ribosomes-are also composed mainly of RNA, whose purpose is not storing information but enzymatic action. In addition, there is a cornucopia of RNA molecules within our cells that form a complex regulatory network, connected with all aspects of cellular development and maintenance. These non-coding RNAs can be used for diagnostics and therapeutic strategies in cancer. In this chapter we give an overview of recent developments in non-coding RNA-based diagnostics and therapies for cutaneous melanoma. It is not meant to be comprehensive; however, it describes examples based on some of the most recent publications in this field.
