Note publique d'information : This volume focuses on the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in contexts ranging
from human cancers to cardiovascular disease and ageing. The role of lncRNAs in X-inactivation
and those lncRNAs derived from pseudogenes, past retroelements integrated within the
human genome, as well as the role these pseudogene-derived lncRNAs play in cancer
development are discussed in detail. Further, the book examines the function of lncRNAs
in diseases such as diabetes, in smooth muscle formation, and in the modulation of
nuclear receptors, as well as in connection with perspectives on the development of
personalized therapeutics. It offers an appealing and insightful resource for scientists
and clinicians alike.
