Abstract:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer‐related mortality globally. MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs), a class of small non‐coding RNA molecules, have demonstrated important roles in carcinogenesis and its progression through the regulation of the epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT), oncogenic signaling pathways, and metastasis. Despite the increase in miRNA studies and extensive analyzes of their expression, the role and function of many individual miRNAs in CRC remains poorly understood. The a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
