Circular RNAs: a new frontier for cancer diagnosis and therapy
Abstract In recent years, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have attracted considerable attention because they play a significant role in many fields of cancer biology. Additionally, it has become increasingly clear that circRNAs have the potential to make contributions to the successful application of indiv...
