<h4>Purpose</h4>The prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) remains disappointing and the development of novel anti-cancer agents is urgently awaited. We identified by a functional genetic screen microRNAs that are selectively lethal for head and neck cancer cells but not for normal cells. We further investigated the genes targeted by these microRNAs.<h4>Experimental design</h4>A retroviral expression library of human microRNAs was introduced in HNSCC cell lines and normal or ...[more]
