Article Abstract
The cardiovascular system plays a pivotal role in regulating and maintaining homeostasis in the human body. Therefore any alteration in regulatory networks that orchestrate heart development as well as adaptation to physiological and environmental stress might result in pathological conditions, which represent the leading cause of death worldwide [1]. The latest advances in genome-wide techniques challenged the "protein-central dogma" with the discovery of the so-called non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Despite their lack of protein coding potential, ncRNAs have been largely demonstrated to regulate the majority of biological processes and have also been largely implicated in cardiovascular disorders. This review will first discuss the important mechanistic aspects of some of the classes of ncRNAs such as biogenesis, mechanism of action, as well as their involvement in cardiac diseases. The ncRNA potential uses as therapeutic molecules, with a specific focus on the latest technologies for their delivery as drug targets, will be described.

The ceRNA Regulatory Network in Vitiligo: Evidence from Bioinformatics Analysis.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentary disorder caused by the loss of functional melanocytes. Increasing evidence suggests that competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) interactions participate in this process, yet their global architecture in vitiligo remains unclear.
Objective: To delineate a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA ceRNA network associated with vitiligo and to identify blood-borne RNA markers with diagnostic potential.
Integrative bulk and single-cell transcriptomic analysis identifies a migrasome-associated lncRNA signature predictive of prognosis and immune landscape in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by high recurrence and metastasis rates, leading to poor prognosis. Migrasomes, a class of organelles mediating intercellular communication, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) both play critical roles in tumor progression; however, the prognostic significance of migrasome-associated lncRNAs in ccRCC remains unclear.
Methods: Migrasome-associated lncRNAs were identified using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and a prognostic risk signature was constructed.

Objectives: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric disorder associated with cirrhosis and chronic liver disease primarily driven by ammonia (NH3) toxicity, which leads to neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits. Recent studies have identified olfactory dysfunction as a potential early indicator of HE, linked to ammonia-induced neurotoxicity in the brain.
Methods: After confirming physiological alterations in olfactory cells induced by ammonia, we assessed gene expression changes in olfactory bulbs of bile duct ligation (BDL) mice as an HE mouse model.

Breast cancer, a major health concern worldwide, involves diverse molecular subtypes and complex gene expression patterns. This study conducted a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of breast cancer, analyzing 10 gene expression datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus archive to find common genes that exhibit differential expression (DEGs). Then, we conducted pan-cancer and functional enrichment analyses, including single-cell level investigations of DEGs.

Background: Glioblastoma, the most common primary malignant brain tumor, has a median survival of less than two years. This is due in part to a subpopulation of cells called glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), which drive tumor recurrence. Transposable elements (TEs) are expressed at higher levels in cancer stem cells, enhancing the oncogenic potential and plasticity of cells through changes in gene expression, fusion transcript generation, and genomic rearrangement.
