PURPOSE: The prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) remains disappointing and the development of novel anti-cancer agents is urgently awaited. We identified by a functional genetic screen microRNAs that are selectively lethal for head and neck cancer cells but not for normal cells. We further investigated the genes targeted by these microRNAs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A retroviral expression...
