Spatial Expression Analyses Elucidates Mechanisms of circRNAs in Cancer

Sponsored by
ACD

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently gained substantial attention in the cancer research field where most, including the putative oncogene ciRS-7 (CDR1as), have been proposed to function as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) by “sponging” specific microRNAs.
