Breast Cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. BC is a heterogeneous disease with different clinical and genetic features. According to immunohistochemical markers, BC is subdivided into four main subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, ERBB2 positive and triple negative. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with more than 200 nucleotides and deregulated lncRNAs are associated with human diseases, including BC. In order to improve BC molecular classification, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including lncRNAs, have been used. In this review, we focus on lncRNAs with differential expression in BC subtypes and how these RNAs may act to contribute to BC heterogeneity. We also emphasize the potential of these lncRNAs as biomarkers.

Background And Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a prevalent and preventable disease, yet accurate early diagnostic methods are lacking. Exosome non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), a type of liquid biopsy, have emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for various tumours. This study aimed to identify a serum exosome ncRNA feature for enhancing GC diagnosis.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease, contributing substantially to patient morbidity, mortality, and healthcare system strain. Emerging research highlights a pivotal role of epigenetics in ADPKD's pathophysiology, where mechanisms like DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA regulation significantly impact disease onset and progression. These epigenetic factors influence gene expression and regulate key processes involved in cyst formation and expansion, fibrosis, and inflammatory infiltration, thus accelerating ADPKD progression.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are strongly associated with cellular physiological mechanisms and implicated in the numerous diseases. By exploring the subcellular localizations of lncRNAs, we can not only gain crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms of lncRNA-related biological processes but also make valuable contributions towards the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of various human diseases. However, conventional experimental techniques tend to be laborious and time-intensive.

Background: Renal cell cancer (RCC) is the most common and highly malignant subtype of kidney cancer. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are components of tumor microenvironment (TME) that influence RCC progression. The impact of RCC-secreted small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) on TME is largely underexplored.

Background: Compelling evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis including β-amyloid plaque deposition (Aβ) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. In this study, we aimed to investigate the critical role of lncRNA Gm20063 in AD.
Method: Six-month-old male APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild type (WT) C57BL/6 (B6) littermates were obtained from the Nanjing University Animal Model Research Center.
