Article Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by nearly all types of cells, and they communicate between cells by transporting bioactive molecules, including proteins, DNA, RNA, and lipids. In recent years, RNA carried by EVs, particularly the long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) subtypes, has garnered interest with respect to their role in controlling tumor progression. Among them, there are increasing reports that mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) maintain a recently discovered function as transporters of lncRNAs and circRNAs. However, detailed molecular functions of lncRNAs and circRNAs contained in MSC-EVs are not presently summarized, and the efficacy of MSC-EVs as molecular carriers requires further elucidation. This review summarizes the biological characteristics of EVs and the common mechanisms of lncRNAs and circRNAs contained within them. The "double-edged sword" effect and related molecular mechanism of EV-derived lncRNAs (EV-lncRNAs) and circRNAs (EV-circRNAs) between differing tumor types and MSCs are highlighted. The potential of MSC-EVs in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment is discussed to suggest new directions for the strategy of engineering MSC-EVs as anti-tumor drug carriers.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes a significant global health challenge, accounting for a considerable proportion of cancer cases and associated mortality. Projections indicate a potential increase in new cases by 2040, attributed to demographic factors such as aging and population growth. Although advancements in the understanding of CRC pathophysiology have broadened treatment options, challenges such as drug resistance and adverse effects persist, highlighting the necessity for enhanced diagnostic methodologies.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic and progressive vascular disease involving the gradual accumulation of lipids, cholesterol, cellular debris, and fibrous elements within the arterial wall. This process leads to the thickening and hardening of arteries, resulting in restricted blood flow and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Over time, these pathological changes significantly elevate the risk of life‑threatening cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is T cell-mediated inflammatory disease affecting the oral mucosa, and its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood.
Objective: This study aimed to screen for OLP-related hub genes and construct a network of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to explore the crucial mechanisms involved in the disease.
Methods: Proteomic and transcriptomic sequencing were performed on oral mucosa collected from OLP patients and healthy participants, respectively.

Despite advancements in cancer therapy, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, resistance to cancer treatment remains a significant clinical challenge. Metabolic reprogramming and dysfunctional glycolysis, a defining characteristic of cancer cells, are commonly observed in drug-resistant cancer cells. Besides glycolytic enzymes, several signaling molecules-including EGFR, HIF-1α, AMPK, and β-catenin-are involved in the regulation of glycolysis and play crucial roles in mediating resistance to cancer therapy.

Background: Pulpitis is an oral disease primarily triggered by microbial infections. Current therapeutic strategies lack specific agents targeting the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and their competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks have emerged as critical regulators of diverse biological processes, offering novel insights into the pathogenesis of pulpitis and the identification of potential therapeutic targets.
