The circular RNA expression profile in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma reveals a complex circRNA–miRNA regulatory network
Abstract Background Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma is one of the most serious gynecological malignancies. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of noncoding RNA with a covalently closed continuous loop structure. Abnormal circRNA expression might be associated with tumorigenesis because of its complex...
