Identification of the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network in Bladder Cancer by Bioinformatics Analysis

In recent years, increasing evidence shows that circular RNA (circRNA) disorder is closely related to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. However, the regulatory functions of most circRNAs in bladder cancer (BCa) remain unclear. This study was aimed at exploring the molecular regulatory mechanism...
