The lncRNA Caren antagonizes heart failure by inactivating DNA damage response and activating mitochondrial biogenesis

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a role in cardiac physiology and disease. Here the authors identify the lncRNA Caren as a cytoplasmic RNA that decreases the translation of a distant gene encoding Hint1, thereby maintaining cardiomyocyte function due to inactivation of the DNA d...
