Non-coding RNAs are involved in a multitude of cellular processes but the biochemical
function of many small non-coding RNAs remains unclear. The family of small non-coding Y …

The exchange of extracellular vesicles (EV) between immune cells plays a role in various
immune regulatory processes. EV are nano-sized lipid bilayer-enclosed structures that …

In mammalian systems RNA can move between cells via vesicles. Here we demonstrate that
the gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus, which infects mice, secretes …

The RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcription system is devoted to the production of short,
generally abundant noncoding (nc) RNAs in all eukaryotic cells. Previously thought to be …

Metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes are a major public health issue worldwide.
These diseases are often linked to a dysfunctional adipose tissue. Fat is a large …

Y RNA are a class of small non-coding RNA that are largely conserved. Although their
discovery was almost 40 years ago, their function is still under investigation. This is evident …

In recent years, progress in the field of high-throughput sequencing technology and its
application to a wide variety of biological specimens has greatly advanced the discovery …

Here we discuss the hypothesis that the RNA components of the Ro ribonucleoproteins
(RNPs), the Y RNAs, can be processed into microRNAs (miRNAs). Although Ro RNPs …

In the last years, cell free or extracellular RNAs (ex-RNAs) have emerged as novel
intercellular messengers between animal cells, including pathogens. In infectious diseases …

Background Schistosomes are trematode parasites of the phylum Platyhelminthes. They are
considered the most important of the human helminth parasites in terms of morbidity and …
