The most frequent kind of malignancy in the universe is skin cancer, which has been categorized into non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer. There are no complete information of the skin carcinogenesis process. A variety of external and internal agents contribute to the non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer pathogenesis. These factors are epigenetic changes, X-rays, genetic, arsenic compounds, UV rays, and additional chemical products. It was found that there could be a relationship between the appearing novel and more suitable therapies for participants in this class of diseases and detection of basic molecular paths. A covalently closed loop structure bond connecting the 5' and 3' ends characterizes a new group of extensively expressed endogenous regulatory RNAs, which are called circular RNAs (circRNAs). Mammals commonly express circRNAs. They are of high importance in tumorigenesis. Multiple lines evidence indicated that a variety of circular RNAs are associated with initiation and development of skin-related diseases such as skin cancers. Given that different circular RNAs (hsa_circ_0025039, hsa_circRNA006612, circRNA005537, and circANRIL) via targeting various cellular and molecular targets (e.g., CDK4, DAB2IP, ZEB1, miR-889, and let-7c-3p) exert their effects on skin cancers progression. Herein, for first time, we summarized different circular RNAs in skin cancers and noncancerous diseases. Moreover, we highlighted crosstalk between circular RNAs and ceRNAs in cancerous conditions.

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has emerged as a prominent resource for transcriptomic analysis due to its ability to measure gene expression in a highly sensitive and accurate manner. With the increasing availability of RNA-seq data analysis from clinical studies and patient samples, the development of effective visualization tools for RNA-seq analysis has become increasingly important to help clinicians and biomedical researchers better understand the complex patterns of gene expression associated with health and disease. This review aims to outline the current state-of-the-art data visualization techniques and tools commonly used to frame clinical inferences from RNA-seq data and point out their benefits, applications, and limitations.

Introduction: Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) regulates tumor occurrence and development. Relevant eccDNA profiles have been established for various types of cancer; however, the eccDNA expression profiles in the blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis (LC) remain unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the eccDNA expression profiles in the blood of patients with HCC and LC.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is a common and potentially lethal cancer that primarily affects young children worldwide, with survival rates significantly varying between high- and low-income countries. This review aims to identify essential diagnostic markers for early diagnosis by investigating the molecular pathways associated with RB. The prevalence of RB cases is notably concentrated in Asia and Africa, contributing to a global survival rate estimate of less than 30%.

Glioma is a highly aggressive and invasive brain tumor with limited treatment options, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) are a diverse group of motor proteins that play essential roles in cellular processes such as mitosis, intracellular transport, and signal transduction, all of which are crucial for tumorigenesis. This review focuses on the multifaceted role of KIFs in glioma, examining their clinical relevance, contribution to tumor progression, and potential as therapeutic targets.
