Comprehensive landscape and future perspectives of PIWI‑interacting RNAs in cancer (Review)

P‑element induced wimpy testis (PIWI)‑interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non‑coding RNAs with a length of ~24‑32 nucleotides that specifically bind members of the PIWI protein family. Initially identified in germ cells, piRNAs have since been detected in various somatic cells. T...
