Circular RNAs and SIRT1 in post-transcriptional regulation and human disease.

The circRNA-SIRT1 network is proposed as a context-dependent post-transcriptional regulatory network linking non-coding RNA (ncRNA) biology to immunometabolic and stress-response pathways and emphasized as a promising platform for precision diagnostics and disease-specific therapeutic interventions.

MircoRNAs as regulators of regulated cell death in cancer progression: a focus on ferroptosis, anoikis and pyroptosis

Cancer progression is shaped not only by genetic alterations but also by dynamic remodeling of regulated cell death. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as central regulators of these processes by coordinating gene expression, metabolic balance, and stress responses. This review summarizes current understanding of how miRN...
