Human long non-coding RNAs acquired from bacteria via horizontal gene transfer promote gallbladder cancer - Molecular Biology Reports Background Gallbladder cancer, the most common malignancy of the bile duct, has a poorly understood etiopathogenesis. Non-coding RNAs are implicated in various cancers, but their role in gallbladder c...
