Open AccessH19/let-7/LIN28 reciprocal negative regulatory circuit promotes breast cancer stem cell maintenance
Long noncoding RNA-H19 (H19), an imprinted oncofetal gene, has a central role in carcinogenesis. Hitherto, the mechanism by which H19 regulates cancer stem cells, remains elusive. Here we show that breast cancer ...
