lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

siRNA - Small Interfering RNAs

18.7K
Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, are short regulatory RNA molecules that can silence genes post-transcriptionally, as well as the transcriptional level in some cases. siRNAs are important for protecting cells against viral infections and silencing transposable genetic elements.
In the cytoplasm, siRNA is processed from a double-stranded RNA, which comes from either endogenous DNA transcription or exogenous sources like a virus. This double-stranded RNA is then cleaved by the...

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

7.7K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.6K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Reproductive Biology

Background:

  • The Human Genome Project revealed that ~80% of DNA is transcribed into RNA.
  • Only 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the remainder produces non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs).
  • ncRNAs are key regulators of gene expression, involved in various cellular processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the function of ncRNAs in endometrial physiology.
  • To analyze the role of ncRNAs in embryo implantation.
  • To explore ncRNA involvement in endometrial pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of ncRNA functions.
  • Analysis of ncRNA roles in gene regulation.
  • Examination of ncRNA involvement in endometrial processes.

Main Results:

  • ncRNAs are classified by length (small/long) and function (housekeeping/regulatory).
  • ncRNAs are essential for endometrial physiology and embryo implantation.
  • Dysregulated ncRNAs are implicated in endometrial cancer, endometriosis, and chronic endometritis.

Conclusions:

  • ncRNAs play critical roles in endometrial health and disease.
  • Understanding ncRNA function is vital for diagnosing and treating endometrial disorders.
  • Further research into ncRNAs may offer novel therapeutic targets for endometrial pathologies.
