background: bladder cancer (bc) is the most common genitourinary cancer in iranians with an unclear etiopathogenesis. long stress induced non-coding transcript 5 is a member of the 12-member family of long non-coding rnas, which is abundantly expressed in higher proliferative cells, as well as the cell vulnerable to cellular stress in response to chemical carcinogens. as variations in long non-...

Sepsis, a syndrome of physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities caused by an altered systemic host response to infection, has become the main cause of death among patients admitted to the intensive care units. Recently, genome-wide expression analysis revealed that over 80% of the essential genetic elements were altered in critically ill patients. Notably, non-coding RNAs, includin...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs consisting of a length roughly 22 nucleotides that participate in gene regulation [...]

RNAs are known to regulate diverse biological processes, either as protein-encoding molecules or as non-coding RNAs. However, a third class that comprises RNAs endowed with both protein coding and non-coding functions has recently emerged. Such bi-functional 'coding and non-coding RNAs' (cncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in distinct developmental processes in plants and animals. ...

it has been well documented that preeclampsia (pe) has a common etiological background, but little is known about its linkage at the molecular level.non- coding rnas are critical posttranscriptional regulators ofgene expression.  this study was performed to determine whether peis associated with alterations in placental non-codingrnas expression. microrna(mir)-155-5p and long non-coding rna (ln...

although more than 98% of the human genome is transcribed, most of these transcripts are not translated into proteins. rather, they are considered as non-coding rnas. micrornas (mirnas) are very short non-coding rnas approximately 22 nucleotides in length which regulate many key processes of cells such as growth, proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis (programmed cell death) and ...
