LMNA knock-down affects differentiation and progression of human neuroblastoma cells.
<h4>Background</h4>Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most aggressive tumors that occur in childhood. Although genes, such as MYCN, have been shown to be involved in the aggressiveness of the disease, the identification of new biological markers is still desirable. The induction of differe...
