The Dark That Matters: Long Non-coding RNAs as Master Regulators of Cellular Metabolism in Non-communicable Diseases

Non-coding RNAs are pivotal for many cellular functions, such as splicing, gene regulation, chromosome structure, and hormone-like activity. Here, we will report about the biology and the general molecular mechanisms associated with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of >200 nucleotides-...
