Article Abstract

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and other ncRNA types, have emerged as key regulators in neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumors. This review aims to provide insights into the role of ncRNAs in these conditions and their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. We systematically reviewed literature from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure comprehensive coverage of recent advancements. Although ncRNAs are involved in a range of molecular pathways, challenges in clinical translation, including specificity, cost, and validation, persist. This review highlights innovative strategies to overcome these barriers and promote the clinical application of ncRNAs. Moreover, we explore the emerging role of extracellular vesicle-enriched ncRNAs as cell-free therapeutic options for neurodegenerative diseases. The findings presented here emphasize the need for robust validation and the development of specific ncRNA-based treatments.

Purpose: Lung cancer is currently the most common malignant tumor worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, posing a serious threat to human health. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and are involved in various biological processes associated with lung cancer. Understanding the mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis and detecting disease biomarkers may enable early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Cancer-associated muscle wasting is associated with poor clinical outcomes, but its underlying biology is largely uncharted in humans. Unbiased analysis of the RNAome (coding and non-coding RNAs) with unsupervised clustering using integrative non-negative matrix factorization provides a means of identifying distinct molecular subtypes and was applied here to muscle of patients with colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Rectus abdominis biopsies from 84 patients were profiled using high-throughput next-generation sequencing.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a severe condition characterized by chronic and recurrent depressive symptoms, leading to significant morbidity and a considerable socio-economic impact. Genetic and biological studies suggest that TRD is associated with distinct biological characteristics. In this study, we analysed whole-transcriptome differences in 293 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) to compare TRD (N = 150) vs non-TRD (N = 143) cases.

In this edition of Gene's "Editor's Corner" we summarize the complex interactions of different molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The topic is relevant, as the therapeutic options for HIE are limited, it is important to have as much knowledge as possible about the molecular processes underlying the disease. In the recent issue of Gene (Gene 952, 2025, 149363), Wang et al.
