Recent findings also point toward the role of non-coding RNAs in metabolic reprogramming, particularly in reshaping energy production in cancer cells.

Their findings, recently published in Nucleic Acids Research, spotlight TERRA—a long non-coding RNA transcribed from the ends of chromosomes—as a potential biomarker for age-related and ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is a global health challenge, affecting nearly 30% of adults worldwide.

The team further confirmed that mir-193 is processed from a long non-protein-coding RNA, ivory, and it functions by directly repressing multiple pigmentation genes.

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.
