miR-146a inhibits cell growth, cell migration and induces apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Aberrant expression of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) has been reported to be involved in the development and progression of various types of cancers. However, its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of miR-146a to v...
