In recent times, the rising prevalence of obesity and its associated comorbidities have had a severe impact on human health and social progress. Therefore, scientists are delving deeper into the pathogenesis of obesity, exploring the role of non-coding RNAs. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), once regarded as mere "noise" during genome transcription, have now been confirmed through numerous studies to regulate gene expression and contribute to the occurrence and progression of several human diseases.

T cells, particularly T helper cells, play a crucial role in the disease. Non-coding RNAs, which are RNAs that do not code for proteins, mainly include microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, play a role in regulating various biological processes.

Study Design: This retrospective study involved 382 patients with type 2 DM selected from 8,573 patients with angiographic CAD (>50% stenosis).
Aims: To assess the relationship between asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH) and manifestations of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods And Results: A total of 5128 consecutive patients with proven diagnosis of CAD were examined. There were 2469 patients with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) (48.
Hematopoietic differentiation is a complex process involving many genes inducing functional changes and characteristics of different cell lineages. To understand this process, it is important to identify genes involved in lineage commitment and maturation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Recently we isolated the novel gene MYADM which is strongly up-regulated as multipotent progenitor cells differentiate towards myeloid cells.
