Publisher's Synopsis
LncRNAs contribute to cancer progression by regulating gene expression epigenetically and post-transcriptionally. They influence tumorigenesis through interactions with chromatin modifiers, act as competitive endogenous RNAs to modulate microRNA activity and regulate processes such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that facilitate metastasis. LncRNAs affect cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, metabolism, and drug resistance, making them crucial players in tumor development and potential targets for diagnosis and therapy. The book covers the latest reports about lncRNAs.
