Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally, and has recently become the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. BC is a heterogeneous disease comprising various histopathological and molecular subtypes with differing levels of malignancy, and each patient has an individual prognosis. Etiology and pathogenesis are complex and involve a considerable number of genetic alterations and dozens of alterations in non-coding RNA expression.

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: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are essential for cell-to-cell communication because they transport functionally active molecules, including proteins, RNA, and lipids, from secretory cells to nearby or distant target cells. Seminal plasma contains a large number of EVs (sEVs) that are phenotypically heterogeneous. The aim of the present study was to identify the RNA species contained in two subsets of porcine sEVs of different sizes, namely small sEVs (S-sEVs) and large sEVs (L-sEVs).

ADP-ribosylation factor collaborator (CARF), which is also known as CDKN2AIP, was first recognized as an ADP-ribosylation factor-interacting protein that participates in the activation of the ARF-p53-p21 (WAF1) signaling pathway under different conditions, such as oxidative and oncogenic stresses. The activation of this pathway often leads to cell growth arrest and apoptosis as well as senescence. Previous studies revealed that CARF, an RNA-binding protein, is critical for maintaining stem cell pluripotency and somatic differentiation.
