Tight junction (TJ) is a “zippering up” junction structure located at the uppermost portion of
adjacent epithelial/endothelial cells in organs and tissues. TJs maintain the relative stability …

Heart injury such as myocardial infarction leads to cardiomyocyte loss, fibrotic tissue
deposition, and scar formation. These changes reduce cardiac contractility, resulting in heart …

Circulating miRNAs are detected in extracellular space and body fluids such as urine.
Circulating RNAs can be packaged in secreted urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) and …

Wnt signaling pathways and microRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of development.
Aberrant Wnt signaling pathways and miRNA levels lead to developmental defects and …

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important roles not only in the physiological
functions of the blood vessels, such as vasoconstriction, vasodilatation and extracellular …

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most frequent cancer in humans
and it can be locally invasive and metastatic to distant sites. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) …

Aerobic glycolysis is a characteristic in cancers that is important for cancer cell proliferation.
Emerging evidence shows that long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) participates in glucose …

Background miRNAs are regarded as molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets for
colorectal cancer (CRC), a series of miRNAs have been proven to involve into CRC …

Abstract Background Circular RNA (circRNA), a novel class of non-coding RNA, has a
closed-loop structure with important functions in skeletal muscle growth. The purpose of this …

Abstract Ischemia–reperfusion (I/R)-induced spinal cord injury can cause apoptotic damage
and subsequently act as a blood–spinal cord barrier damage. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) …
