MicroRNA-1 induces apoptosis by targeting prothymosin alpha in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MiR-1 (microRNA-1) has been used as a positive control in some microRNA experiments. We found that miR-1 transfection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells reveals a typical apoptotic process as shown by time-lapse microscopy so we inves...
