Study on molecular expression of long non-coding RNA Glypican3 in hepatocellular cancer patients

Egyptian Liver Journal, 2022
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main cancers in the world with a high mortality rate. The molecular mechanisms of HCC are poorly understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a role in HCC pathogenesis.
