LncRNA PCBP1-AS1 induces osteoporosis by sponging miR-126-5p/PAK2 axis
Aims: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as crucial regulators in osteoporosis (OP). Nonetheless, the effects and potential molecular mechanism of lncRNA PCBP1 Antisense RNA 1 (PCBP1-AS1) on OP remain largely unclear. The aim of this study was to explore

Triggering of RNA Interference with RNA–RNA, RNA–DNA, and DNA–RNA Nanoparticles [PDF]
Control over cellular delivery of different functionalities and their synchronized activation is a challenging task. We report several RNA and RNA/DNA-based nanoparticles designed to conditionally activate the RNA interference in various human cells.

Combinatorics of RNA–RNA interaction [PDF]
RNA-RNA binding is an important phenomenon observed for many classes of non-coding RNAs and plays a crucial role in a number of regulatory processes. Recently several MFE folding algorithms for predicting the joint structure of two interacting RNA molecules have been proposed.

RNA Chaperones, RNA Annealers and RNA Helicases [PDF]
RNA molecules face difficulties when folding into their native structures. In the cell, proteins can assist RNAs in reaching their functionally active states by binding and stabilizing a specific structure or, in a quite opposite way, by interacting in a non-specific manner. These proteins can either facilitate RNA-RNA interactions in a reaction termed

RNA helicases in RNA decay [PDF]
RNA molecules have the tendency to fold into complex structures or to associate with complementary RNAs that exoribonucleases have difficulties processing or degrading. Therefore, degradosomes in bacteria and organelles as well as exosomes in eukaryotes have teamed-up with RNA helicases.
