What is this?[edit]

Ok, with all due respect to the good people who put this together, I have to say that the article lacks a proper introduction, is overly wordy and at places incredibly specific, without however putting any of that specific info into context. It cites many good, reputable sources, but it still uses a very vague/unsure tone.

One such showcase of this multi-activity is displayed by the microRNA mir-155, a short RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in various physiological and pathological processes. Potentially, exogenous molecular control in vivo of miR-155 expression could uncover new frontiers to restrain malignant growth and viral infections, or to attenuate the progression of cardiovascular diseases for instance.

- and if this doesn't sound like somebody advertising his own research topic, I don't know what does. I'm sorry to point out errors and do nothing about them myself, but I believe that this article should either be rewritten or stripped down to the basics.
