abstract：:The importance of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in human cancers has gradually been acknowledged. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), several circRNAs have been reported to regulate tumor growth and metastasis. However, the role of hsa_circ_0000673 in HCC remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that hsa_circ_000067...
