miR-92a promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of prostate cancer cells through the PTEN/Akt signaling pathway
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the development of prostate cancer (PCa). Recent studies have shown that miR-92a expression is significantly increased in various cancers including PCa. However, its specific mechanism in PCa remains unknown. The goal of this study was to investigate the...
