Abstract
Non-coding RNAs, especially microRNAs (miRNAs), have been recently found to play a major role in the post-transcriptional regulation of both development and dysfunction of the cardiovascular system. Mechanistically, the induction or repression of miRNAs occurring in cardiovascular dysfunction triggers downstream cardiac events in a celltype- specific manner. More importantly, the endogenous microRNAs’ disturbance can be modified to rescue cardiac function through exogenous overexpressing or neutralizing strategy. In this paper, we summarizes the current knowledge about miRNAs functions as well as their role in cardiac development and disease, and reports novel miRNAs-based therapeutic approaches to counteract maladaptive remodeling upon cardiac dysfunction.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
