Colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of death worldwide, and it is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common cancer in men. Accumulating evidence suggests that genetic and epigenetic factors play a key role in the development of colorectal cancer. Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) play an important role in the suppression or development of cancer in various conditions. In recent years, non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) have been the focus, and the association of CSC and non-coding RNA has played a crucial role in the development of human cancers. These non-coding RNAs are known to be expressed in many cancers. Studies have suggested that ncRNAs are dysregulated in colorectal cancer cells, and different factors, like Wnt and Notch, are involved in this dysregulation. ncRNAs play a significant role in cancer initiation, migration, and resistance to therapies. Moreover, long noncoding RNAs are known to regulate tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes. Targeting different ncRNAs like miRNA, circular RNA, long noncoding RNAs, and small interfering RNA may provide efficient, targeted therapeutic strategies for colon cancer treatment. This review aims to briefly discuss the latest findings on the role of noncoding RNAs in the prognosis and diagnosis of colon cancer.

Background: Acanthocephalans (thorny headed worms) of the genus Pseudoacanthocephalus mainly parasitize amphibians and reptiles across the globe. Some species of the genus Pseudoacanthocephalus also can accidentally infect human and cause human acanthocephaliasis. Current knowledge of the species composition of the genus Pseudoacanthocephalus from amphibians and reptiles in China is incomplete.

RNA modifications are widespread throughout the mammalian transcriptome and play pivotal roles in regulating various cellular processes. These modifications are strongly linked to the development of many cancers. One of the most prevalent forms of RNA modifications in humans is adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, catalyzed by the enzyme adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).

Breast cancer remains a leading global health challenge requiring innovative, therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes. This review explores the pivotal roles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long non-coding RNA, micro RNA, and circular RNA, in breast cancer biology. We highlight how these molecules regulate critical signaling pathways, influence tumor microenvironments, and contribute to treatment resistance.

RBM family proteins plays the critical role in the progression of numerous tumors. However, whether RBM family proteins involved in prostate cancer (PCa) progression is remain elucidated. In our study, an RNAi screen containing shRNA library targeting 54 members of the RBM family was applied to identify the critical RBM proteins involved in prostate cancer progression under docetaxel treatment, and RBM19 was selected.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that influence the development and progression of many diseases. Research have documented that miRNAs have a significant role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of complex human diseases. Recently, scientists have devoted extensive resources to attempting to find the connections between miRNAs and diseases.
