Triple negative aggressive phenotype controlled by miR-135b and miR-365: new theranostics candidates

Abstract Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for about a fifth of all breast cancers and includes a diverse group of cancers. The heterogeneity of TNBC and the lack of target receptors on the cell surface make it difficult to develop specific therapeutic treatments. These aspects cause the...
