ciRS-7 is a prognostic biomarker and potential gene therapy target for renal cell carcinoma

Abstract Circular RNAs are a new class of non-coding RNAs that have been shown to play critical roles in the development and progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, little is known about the functional mechanisms and therapeutic role of ciRS-7 in RCC. A series of in vitro and in vivo exp...
