Circular RNA hsa_circ_0000751 serves as a microRNA-488 sponge to suppress gastric cancer progression via ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 2 regulation

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but are known to regulate tumor progression. This study was designed to explore the underlying mechanism driving circRNA-mediated modulation of gastric cancer (GC). Bioinformatics analysis of gene chip GSE83521 was used to identi...
