Purpose: We aimed to examine the importance of an lncRNA, namely LINC00852, in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: In the current study, we used several online tools to examine the importance of LINC00852 in breast cancer. Then, we examined these findings in 50 pairs of breast cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous ones.
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) characterize a novel kind of regulatory RNAs distinguished by great evolutionary conservation and constancy. Although their exact role in malignancies is not fully understood, they mainly work through specific axes. Circular RNA/miRNA/mRNA axes affect the pathogenesis of human cancers including breast cancer.

This study aimed to investigate whether the expression of DSCAM-AS1 is deregulated in breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: The relative expression of DSCAM-AS1 was measured in fifty breast cancerous and matched adjacent non-neoplastic tissue samples using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique.
Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that microRNAs play fundamental regulatory roles in embryo implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between miR-146a C > G, miR-149 T > C, miR-196a2 T > C, and miR-499 A > G polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).
Material And Methods: One hundred and twenty women with a history of two or more unexplained consecutive miscarriages and 90 ethnically matched healthy women with a history of at least two successful pregnancy outcomes and without a history of miscarriage were enrolled in a case-control study.
The application of stem cells as a therapy for degenerative disease holds great promise. Substantial evidence suggests that stem cell derived exosomes are a novel cell-free therapy for the corresponding cells. Exosomes are less complex as compared to their parental cells, due to the fewer number of membrane proteins.
