PCNA in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Cervical Cancer: An Interaction Network Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes

The investigation of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their interactome could provide valuable insights for the development of markers to optimize cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) screening and treatment. This study investigated patients with cervical disease to identify gene marker...
