Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most frequent cancer in humans globally. In addition to smoking and drinking, genetic and epigenetic changes also play a big role in how HNSCC starts and grows. MicroRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs that control cell differentiation and apopt...
