Book Description

Advances in Non-coding RNAs in Cancer-Biology and Immunology is a resource for three major types of non-coding RNAs including microRNA, LnRNA and piRNA. It covers machinery of non-coding RNAs, including microRNA, LnRNA and piRNA, and the identification of targets of these non-coding RNAs, and the identification of physiological and pathological roles of miRNAs, LnRNAs and piRNAs in immunology and cancer biology. The aberrant expressions of these non-coding RNAs within the cells cause various abnormalities and diseases including cancer and immune system-associated diseases. Manipulating their aberrant expression or function can serve as potential novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and bring in new therapeutic strategies for multiple human diseases. This can be further translated from bench-side to clinic for improving human health. Advances in Non-coding RNAs in Cancer-Biology and Immunology introduces basic ideas of miRNAs, LnRNAs and piRNAs, along with their detailed bio-processing steps, critical functions in the development of tumorigenesis and controlling immune cell responses, which benefits for identifying different classes of non-coding RNAs and their targets, identifying new members of these non-coding RNAs and predicting the possible functions of these molecules. It captures the essence of the pioneering work of some of the world's leading researchers showcasing the scientific excitements surrounding the evolving regulatory roles of miRNAs, LnRNAs, piRNAs highlighting their potential towards the diagnosis and therapeutics of various diseases. Provides a unified cutting-edge resource for non-coding RNAs including miRNAs LnRNAs, and piRNAs, their physiological and pathological roles and potential applications Showcases high-throughput technologies and other approaches for discovery of these non-coding RNAs and their downstream targets Unveils the diverse molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs, LnRNAs and piRNAs regulate gene expression in animal cells Showcases recent discoveries on involvement of these non-coding RNAs in different biological processes and diseases as well as their possible use in diagnosis Reports breakthroughs in the use of these non-coding RNAs for diagnosis and personalized therapy
