Abstract excerpt
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults, its complex etiology involving a combination of environmental and genetic factors. MicroRNA (miRNA) is a short, non‑coding regulatory RNA molecule that represses gene expression by imperfectly base‑pairing to the 3' untranslated region of target mRNAs. Evidence has shown that alterations in the expression of miRNA...
