Inhibition of microRNA miR-92a induces apoptosis and necrosis in human acute promyelocytic leukemia
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs, 19-25 nucleotides in length, involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in a considerable majority of mRNAs. Different aspects of cellular activities like cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation are regulated...
