Long non-coding RNA BANCR promotes proliferation in malignant melanoma by regulating MAPK pathway activation.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to be implicated in the complex network of cancer including malignant melanoma and play important roles in tumorigenesis and progression. However, their functions and downstream mechanisms are largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether BRA...
