MicroRNA-653-5p Promotes Gastric Cancer Proliferation and Metastasis by Targeting the SOCS6-STAT3 Pathway

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as significant regulators of the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer (GC), and may be effective biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic targeting for GC. In this study, miR-653-5p was found to be significantly upregulated in GC tissues, serum, and cell lines...
