There is now strong evidence suggesting that miRNA signaling plays a significant role in both innate and

Metastasis is one of the hallmarks of cancer malignancy that usually causes more detrimental effects than a primary tumor. Many microRNAs have been reported to be involved in the process of tumor metastasis. Now, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College studied microRNAs in Hep11 and Hep12 cells derived from primary and recurrence (intrahepatic metastatic) sites of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), respectively. They found that Hep12 exhibited a higher invasive and migratory potential than Hep11. There was
