Notch-regulated ankyrin-repeat protein is a novel tissue biomarker that predicts poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer.

abstract：:RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful technology for suppressing gene function. In most studies, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) consist of one short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and, therefore, are often unable to achieve loss-of-function of their target genes. In the current study, an RNAi vector containing three shRNAs unde...
