Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gene expression in a variety of ways at
epigenetic, chromatin remodeling, transcriptional, and translational levels. Accumulating …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) outnumber protein-coding transcripts, but their functions
remain largely unknown. In this Review, we discuss the emerging roles of lncRNAs in the …

The X chromosome and X-linked variants have largely been ignored in genome-wide and
candidate association studies of infectious diseases due to the complexity of statistical …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs with a length larger than
200 nucleotides that participate in various diseases and biological processes as they can …

Women develop stronger immune responses than men, with positive effects on the
resistance to viral or bacterial infections but magnifying also the susceptibility to autoimmune …

There are notable sex-based differences in immune responses to pathogens and self-
antigens, with female individuals exhibiting increased susceptibility to various autoimmune …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder that predominantly affects
women and is driven by autoreactive T cell–mediated inflammation. It is known that …

The immune system protects us from pathogens, such as viruses. Antiviral immune
mechanisms aim to limit viral replication, and must maintain immunological homeostasis to …

Women represent 80% of people affected by autoimmune diseases. Although, many studies
have demonstrated a role for sex hormone receptor signaling, particularly estrogens, in the …

A significant proportion of mammalian genomes corresponds to genes that transcribe long
non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Throughout the last decade, the number of studies concerning …
