MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF ENDOTHELIN

The identification of cancer-associated long non-coding RNAs and the investigation of their molecular and biological functions are important for understanding the molecular biology and progression of cancer.

Platelet-rich plasma was prepared from rabbit blood collected from the ear central artery in the presence of sodium citrate to a final concentration of 0.313% (v/v). Blood samples were then centrifuged at 200 g for 20 min at room temperature, to give a platelet-rich plasma suspension [1[r]
