Upregulation of miR-31* is negatively associated with recurrent/newly formed oral leukoplakia.

<h4>Background</h4>Oral leukoplakia (OLK) is a potentially malignant disorder of the oral cavity. However, the underlying mechanism of OLK is still unclear. In this study, we explore possible miRNAs involved in OLK.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Using miRNA microarray...
