Abstract
Circular RNAs are covalently closed and non-coding in eukaryotes, which have tissue- specific and temporal-specific expression patterns whose biogenesis is regulated by transcription and splicing. Most circular RNAs are localized in the cytoplasm. The sequences and protein-binding elements of circular RNAs facilitate circular RNAs in exerting biological functions through complementary base pairing, regulating protein function or self-translation. Recent studies have revealed that N6-Methyladenosine (m6A), a prevalent post-transcriptional modification, can affect the translation, localization, and degradation of circular RNAs. Cutting-edge research into circular RNAs have benefitted from the development of high-throughput sequencing technology. Furthermore, the expansion of novel research methods has promoted progress into circular RNA research.
期刊介绍：
Under new editorial leadership, Experimental and Molecular Pathology presents original articles on disease processes in relation to structural and biochemical alterations in mammalian tissues and fluids and on the application of newer techniques of molecular biology to problems of pathology in humans and other animals. The journal also publishes selected interpretive synthesis reviews by bench level investigators working at the "cutting edge" of contemporary research in pathology. In addition, special thematic issues present original research reports that unravel some of Nature''s most jealously guarded secrets on the pathologic basis of disease.
Research Areas include: Stem cells; Neoangiogenesis; Molecular diagnostics; Polymerase chain reaction; In situ hybridization; DNA sequencing; Cell receptors; Carcinogenesis; Pathobiology of neoplasia; Complex infectious diseases; Transplantation; Cytokines; Flow cytomeric analysis; Inflammation; Cellular injury; Immunology and hypersensitivity; Athersclerosis.
