1. Regulation of TGFβ signaling by long non-coding RNAs and ADP-ribosylation
Abstract : Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathways participate in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis and have a dual role in cancer. TGFβ acts as a tumor suppressor that promotes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis at initial stages of tumorigenesis. READ MORE

2. Understanding the role of long non-coding RNAs in neuroblastoma development and progression
Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB), a common cancer of childhood, contributes to 15% of all pediatric cancer deaths. The improper neuronal differentiation of neural crest cells to mature neurons in the sympathetic nervous system leads to NB tumor formation. READ MORE

3. Identification and Functional Significance of Aberrant Long Non-coding RNAs in Acute Myeloid Leukemia : Biological and Prognostic Implications
Abstract : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most frequently diagnosed type of acute leukemia in adults. It commonly affects people aged 60 or older, as incidence increases with age, and it is characterized by the accumulation of immature hematopoietic progenitor cells in the bone marrow. READ MORE

4. Functional analysis of long non-coding RNAs in cancer
Abstract : For years the functional role of noncoding RNAs was greatly underestimated. Whole genome RNA sequencing projects that unraveled pervasive transcription emitting from large parts of the human genome changed those perspectives and prompted scientists to further look into the involvement of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in development and disease.

5. Long non-coding RNAs in the epigenetic regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation
Abstract : Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a heterogeneous class of RNAs with limited coding potential, united by an arbitrarily placed cut off of >200 ntd. The past decade has seen the emergence of lncRNAs as versatile regulators of gene expression, amidst skepticism regarding the biological usefulness of pervasive genomic transcription and its non-coding RNA products prevalent in most eukaryotes.
