The identification of aflatoxins as human carcinogens has stimulated extensive research
efforts, which continue to the present, to assess potential health hazards resulting from
contamination of the human food supply and to minimize exposure. The use of biomarkers
that are mechanistically supported by toxicological studies will be important tools for
identifying stages in the progression of development of the health effects of environmental
agents. miRNAs are small non-coding mRNAs that regulate post-transcriptional gene …
