Circular RNAs as potential biomarkers and therapeutics for cardiovascular disease
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are genetic regulators that were earlier considered as “junk”. In contrast to linear RNAs, they have covalently linked ends with no polyadenylated tails. CircRNAs can act as RNA-binding proteins, sequestering agents, transcriptional regulators, as well as microRNA sponges. I...
