A family of non-coding RNAs, named AngiomiRs [microRNAs (MicroRNAs) involved in angiogenesis] has emerged. These small RNAs have the advantage over siRNAs in that they have the potential of silencing multiple messages at the same time and therefore they might become therapeutically relevant in a “one-hit multiple-target” context against brain tumor angiogenesis 1).
