microRNA capture affinity technology (miR-CATCH) uses affinity capture biotinylated antisense oligonucleotides to co-purify a target transcript together with all its endogenously bound miRNAs. The miR-CATCH assay is performed to investigate miRNAs bound to a specific mRNA. This method allows to have a total vision of miRNAs bound not only to the 3'UTR but also to the 5'UTR and Coding Region of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

Exosomes are membrane-bound vesicles secreted by diverse cell types, serving as crucial mediators in intercellular communication and significantly influencing cancer development. Exosomes facilitate complex signaling processes in the tumor microenvironment for immunomodulation, metastasis, angiogenesis, and treatment resistance. Notably, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs, engage with mRNA, DNA, proteins, and miRNAs to modulate gene expression through multiple mechanisms, including transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and epigenetic pathways.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, deathly disease with no recognized effective cure as yet. Furthermore, its diagnosis and differentiation from other diffuse interstitial diseases remain a challenge. Circulating miRNAs have been measured in IPF and have proven to be an adequate option as biomarkers for this disease.

Exosomes have emerged as significant biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancers. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), abundant in exosomes, are involved in regulating cancer development. However, the regulatory function and the underlying molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0006906 (circSCP2) in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remain unclear.

Background: The effectiveness of immune checkpoint therapy highlights the need to understand abnormal programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), especially when treatments fail, or resistance develops. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) signaling is crucial for regulating programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Our study focuses on interferon gamma receptor 2 (IFNGR2), an essential part of the IFN-γ pathway, and its impact on malignant traits in NPC.

Although gemcitabine (GEM) is the cornerstone of the treatment of pancreatic cancer (PC), GEM resistance frequently arises. Circular RNA (circRNA) circ_0075829 is highly expressed in PC. However, whether circ_0075829 contributes to GEM resistance of PC is largely unknown.
