Role of acidosis-sensitive microRNAs in gene expression and functional parameters of tumors in vitro and in vivo
Background: The acidic extracellular environment of tumors has been shown to affect the malignant progression of tumor cells by modulating proliferation, cell death or metastatic potential. The aim of the study was to analyze whether acidosis-dependent miRNAs play a role in the signaling cascade fro...
