Non-coding RNA research

Following the initial treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), tumor progression often portends an adverse prognosis for these patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of tumor immunity, yet their intricate mecha…

BackgroundOsteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. Our previous investigation provided preliminary evidence that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SN…

BackgroundPregnancy of unknown location (PUL) is classified if an early pregnancy is not visualised on transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS). Biomarkers currently used to triage PUL outcomes have varying accuracy. Delayed or missed diagnosis …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cleave proteins of extracellular matrix thus facilitating cellular invasion and cancer progression. High MMP-2 activity is frequently reported in several diseases including endometriosis and cancer. Endometr…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common condition affecting women of reproductive age globally. PCOS continues to be the largest contributing factor to female infertility despite significant progress in our knowledge of the mole…

Ferroptosis, a recently identified type of non-apoptotic cell death, triggers the elimination of cells in the presence of lipid peroxidation and in an iron-dependent manner. Indeed, ferroptosis-stimulating factors have the ability of suppre…

BackgroundPreeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy-specific syndrome associated with the inadequate invasion of trophoblast cells and inflammation of the uterus. A previous study found that lncRNA HOXD-AS1 promotes PE. However, its regulato…

Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, has emerged as a crucial process in diverse pathophysiological states, encompassing cancer, neurodegenerative ailments, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. The glutathione (GSH)-dependent lipid pero…

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted significant scientific attention due to their central role in regulating gene expression and their profound impact on the intricate mechanisms of ovarian function. These versatile molecules exer…

PURPOSE: The role of the Sirutin 1 (SIRT1) and MicroRNA-34 a (miR-34a) in endometriosis and the extent to which the miR-34a/SIRT1/p53 signaling pathway is involved in its pathogenesis is unclear, so we aimed to investigate the expression of…

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are crucial regulatory elements in most biological processes and reproduction is also controlled by them. The different types of ncRNAs, as well as the high complexity of these regulatory pathways, present a complex…
