MiR-16-5p suppresses breast cancer proliferation by targeting ANLN

Abstract Background In recent years, gene expression-based analysis has been used for disease biomarker discovery, providing ways for better diagnosis, leading to improvement of clinical treatment efficacy. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-16-5p and ANLN in breast cancer (BC). Methods Coh...
