Circulating microRNAs (c-microRNAs, c-miRNAs), which are present in almost all biological fluids, are promising sensitive biomarkers for various diseases (oncological and cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative pathologies, etc.), and their signatures accurately reflect the state of the body. Studies of the expression of microRNA markers show that they can enable a wide range of diseases to be diagnosed before clinical symptoms are manifested, and they can help to assess a patient's response to therapy in order to correct and personalize treatments. This review discusses the latest trends in the uses of miRNAs for diagnosing and treating various diseases, viral and non-viral. It is concluded that exogenous microRNAs can be used as high-precision therapeutic agents for these purposes.

Breast cancer (BC) commonly expresses estrogen receptors (ERs); hence, endocrine therapy targeting ERs is considered an effective treatment. Tamoxifen (TAM) resistance is an essential clinical complication leading to cancer progression and metastasis. This study investigated MicroRNAs (miRNAs) potentially implicated in drug resistance (miR-182-3p, miR-382-3p) or sensitivity (miR-93, miR- 142- 3p).

Background: MicroRNAs have been linked to dementia. However, understanding their relation to cognition in the general population is required to determine their potential use for the detection and prevention of age-associated cognitive decline and preclinical dementia. Therefore, we examined the association of circulating microRNAs with cognitive performance in a population-based cohort and the possible underlying mechanisms.

Mounting evidence suggests that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) hold diagnostic value in various malignancies. To identify circulating miRNAs for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic utility of miRNAs in HCC and further validated the results of the meta-analysis. English articles published prior to December 2023 were retrieved from databases including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.

Article Synopsis
- Postinterventional restenosis poses challenges in treating peripheral vascular disease, as current drugs hinder endothelial repair while preventing neointima hyperplasia.
- Stem cell-derived exosomes offer therapeutic benefits by delivering functional microRNAs but face limitations in targeting and tissue uptake in injured vessels.
- To improve efficacy, researchers created platelet-mimetic exosomes (PM-EXOs) that enhance targeting to vascular injuries and promote endothelial repair with minimal side effects, demonstrating significant potential in reducing neointima formation.
