Liver fibrosis is a significant contributor to liver-related disease mortality on a global scale. Despite this, there remains a dearth of effective therapeutic interventions capable of reversing this condition. Consequently, it is imperative that we gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving liver fibrosis.

Here, we extend the noncoding perspective of human MN, by detailing the molecular and biological activity of CyCoNP (as Cytoplasmic Coordinator of Neural Progenitors) a highly expressed and MN-enriched human lncRNA. Through in silico prediction, in vivo RNA purification and loss of function experiments followed by RNA-sequencing, we found that CyCoNP sustains a specific neuron differentiation program, required for the physiology of both neuroblastoma cells and hiPSC-derived MN, which mainly involves miR-4492 and NCAM1 mRNA.

Osteoporosis is the most common skeletal disease characterized by an imbalance between bone resorption and bone remodeling. Osteoporosis can lead to bone loss and bone microstructural deterioration. This increases the risk of bone fragility and fracture, severely reducing patients' mobility and quality of life.

Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) is a potential drug target for cancer therapy as it is often dysregulated in several cancers, including lung, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. In cancer, HSP90 fails to maintain the structural and functional integrity of its several client proteins which are involved in the hallmarks of cancer such as cell proliferation, invasion, migration, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. Several small molecule inhibitors of HSP90 have been shown to exhibit anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo animal models.

The hallmark of chronic inflammatory diseases is immune evasion. Successful immune evasion involves numerous mechanisms to suppress both adaptive and innate immune responses. Either direct contact between cells or paracrine signaling triggers these responses.
