Apoptotic functions of microRNAs in pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of endometriosis
Abstract MicroRNAs or miRNAs are a component of the non-coding RNAs family which is engaged in many cellular functions such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression, signaling pathways, angiogenesis, and etc. Endometriosis is a malignant gynecologic disorder occurring in women before menopa...
