Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Non-coding RNA Research focuses on the diverse roles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), in biological processes and human diseases. The journal investigates how these ncRNAs regulate gene expression, cellular functions, and contribute to disease pathogenesis, therapeutic resistance, and potential as biomarkers. Specific areas of interest include ncRNAs in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other pathological conditions.
