Diverse Roles and Therapeutic Potentials of Circular RNAs in Urological Cancers

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs, which are mainly formed as a loop structure at the exons caused by noncanonical splicing; they are much more stable than linear transcripts; recent reports have suggested that the dysregulation of circRNAs is associated with the occurrenc...
