Regulatory non-coding RNAs in health and disease

Submission status
Closed
Health and disease are known to be guided by their genetic make-up and their interactions. The intricate mechanisms guiding these genetic interactions in pathophysiological conditions are challenging and difficult to interpret. The recent discovery of small non-coding RNA molecules that do not encode for any protein molecule (like microRNAs and siRNAs), have baffled scientists and led them on a path to decipher their functions. Such RNA molecules have been found to play critical role in gene and protein expression. We are pleased to introduce a special issue and open a CALL FOR PAPERS in the subject area of Regulatory non-coding RNAs in health and diseases. In this call for papers, we invite researchers to submit their original work or their review paper in following areas with a focus on pathophysiology: •microRNAs •siRNAs •piRNAs •lncRNAs •circRNAs •other non-coding RNAs.

    Dr. Nishant Chakravorty is a physician-scientist by training presently working as an Assistant Professor at the School of Medical Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India, where he leads the Regenerative Medicine lab. Dr. Chakravorty has been actively engaged in research involving microRNAs since his PhD training at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. Presently, a major focus area of Dr. Chakravorty’s lab is exploring the role of microRNAs in the regulation of fetal hemoglobin in beta-hemoglobinopathies like beta-thalassemia.
