Space payloads in orbit are vulnerable to small vibrations from satellite platforms, which can degrade their performance. Traditional methods typically involve installing a passive vibration isolation system between the platform and the payload. However, such systems are usually effective only for high-frequency, large-amplitude vibrations and perform poorly in isolating low-frequency vibrations and resonances below 10 Hz.

In recent years, numerous studies have been performed to explore the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in various diseases in which lncRNA serves as a microRNA (miRNA) sponge to regulate targeted gene expression. However, whether lncRNAs participate in ARDS progression remains unclear.

However, whether lncRNA-HOTAIR is involved in the etiology of sepsis remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of HOTAIR in sepsis and to reveal the associated mechanisms.
