Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are among the most well-characterized noncoding RNAs, have attracted much attention due to their regulatory functions and potential therapeutic options in many types of disease. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), the formation of droplet condensates, is involved in various cellular processes, but the molecular interactions of lncRNAs in LLPS are unclear. In this review, we describe the research development on LLPS, including descriptions of various methods established to identify LLPS, summarize the physiological and pathological functions of LLPS, identify the molecular interactions of lncRNAs in LLPS, and present the potential applications of leveraging LLPS in the clinic. The aim of this review is to update the knowledge on the association between LLPS and lncRNAs, which might provide a new direction for the treatment of LLPS-mediated disease.

Epigenetic regulation in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) research has emerged as a transformative molecular approach that enhances understanding of hematopoiesis and hematological disorders. This chapter investigates the intricate epigenetic mechanisms that control HSCs function, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling. It also explores the role of non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNAs) as epigenetic regulators, highlighting how changes in gene expression can occur without alterations to the DNA sequence.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulatory molecules in cancer biology. Among these, long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 02418 (LINC02418), a recently identified lncRNA, has been linked to endometrial cancer (EC), although its function and operational mechanisms are largely unclear. The present investigation aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism through which LINC02418 influences EC pathogenesis.

Objectives: We investigated the recently generated RNA-sequencing dataset of pulpitis to identify the potential pain-related lncRNAs for pulpitis prediction.
Materials And Methods: Differential analysis was performed on the gene expression profile between normal and pulpitis samples to obtain pulpitis-related genes. The co-expressed gene modules were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA).

In most solid tumors, cellular energy metabolism is primarily dominated by aerobic glycolysis, which fulfills the high demand for biomacromolecules at the expense of reduced ATP production efficiency. Elucidation of the mechanisms by which rapidly proliferating malignant cells acquire sufficient energy in this state of inefficient ATP production from glycolysis could enable development of metabolism targeted therapeutic strategies. In this study, we observed a significant association between elevated expression levels of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SNHG17 and unfavorable prognosis in breast cancer (BCa).

Background/aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant and insidious tumor that is tricky to treat. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) LINC01123 is a biomolecule that influences cancer progression by regulating gene expression via influencing the regulatory function of microRNAs in gene expression. Therefore, this study investigated the connection between LINC01123 and CCA and explored the underlying mechanism.
