Circular RNAs (circRNAs) comprise a group of noncoding RNAs with a circular conformation being constructed by either classic spliceosome-mediated or lariat-kind of splicing. They have tissue and temporal specificity and are involved in different biological functions. A vast body of literature has demonstrated critical roles of circRNAs in the formation or progression of neoplasms. Hsa_circ_0066631, hsa_circ_0082096, ciRS-7, circMAT2B, circ_052666, circMBOAT2, circPACRGL and circ_0128846 are among up-regulated circRNAs in CRC. Instead, expression levels of circTADA2A, circ_022743, circ_004452, circ-FBXW7, circ0106714, circFNDC3B and circ_cse1 have been decreased in CRC samples. Finally, expression levels of circRNA-100876, hsa_circ_0002320, circNOL10, circ_0056618, circ_0060745, circ-0004277, hsa_circRNA_102958, circPPP1R12A, hsa_circ_0007534, circ_0079993 and hsa_circ_0005075 can be used for prediction of clinical outcome of patients CRC.

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.
