Core Tip

Core tip: miRNA-145 (miR-145) may play an important role in inhibiting colon cancer proliferation and invasive migration. This finding lays a good foundation for further investigation of targeting miR-145 as a tumor suppressor in colon cancer treatment, and provides novel evidence for the anti-cancer effects and therapeutic potential of miR-145.
