Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Renal carcinoma is the third most common malignancy following prostate and bladder cancer, while the mortality is the highest (40%) among them. We identified non coding RNA HOTAIR which is involved in the malignant characteristics. We further identified a novel non-coding RNA which is also promote cancer malignancy.
