miRNAs in the Expression Regulation of Dopamine-Related Genes and Proteins in Endometrial Cancer

Disruption of the dopaminergic system leads to many diseases, including cancer. Dopamine and its receptors are involved in the regulation of proliferation, cell death, invasion, and migration. Better understanding of the mechanisms involved in these processes could reveal new molecular markers and t...
