RNA duplex formation and competing endogenous RNA, proposed as mechanisms in regulating expression of natural antisense transcripts- from hypotheses to potential therapeutic applications.
Frontiers in molecular biosciences ·doi:10.3389/fmolb.2026.1800738

Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) from eukaryotic genes, known as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), are long transcripts that do not encode proteins. NATs play diverse functional roles in regulating the transcription, stability, and transl…

Therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest increases the plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide.
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-72703-2

Natriuretic peptides (NPs) regulate blood pressure and fluid homeostasis and exert various effects on the cardiovascular system. Recently, the relationship between NPs and the energy metabolism has been reported, and using a cell culture ex…
