A Long Non-Coding RNA Expressed in Aggressive Cancer 2014-109
ABSTRACT Berkeley Lab researchers have developed technologies to evaluate levels of the long, non-coding RNA to assess the aggressiveness of a cancer and to modulate levels of the long non-coding RNA. This invention addresses the need to identify patients with potentially metastatic tumors versus non-metastatic tumors. For more details, see Published PCT patent … [Read more...] about A Long Non-Coding RNA Expressed in Aggressive Cancer 2014-109
