Journal ArticleDOI

Natural RNA circles function as efficient microRNA sponges

TL;DR: This study serves as the first functional analysis of a naturally expressed circular RNA, ciRS-7, which contains more than 70 selectively conserved miRNA target sites, and is highly and widely associated with Argonaute proteins in a miR-7-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biogenesis, biology and characterization of circular RNAs.

TL;DR: Advances in high-throughput RNA sequencing and circRNA-specific computational tools have driven the development of state-of-the-art approaches for their identification, and novel approaches to functional characterization are emerging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-assembly of a nanoscale DNA box with a controllable lid.

TL;DR: The DNA origami method is extended into three dimensions by creating an addressable DNA box that can be opened in the presence of externally supplied DNA ‘keys’, and controlled access to the interior compartment of this DNA nanocontainer could yield several interesting applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circular RNAs in cancer: opportunities and challenges in the field.

TL;DR: The current knowledge on circRNAs is reviewed in relation to their implications in tumorigenesis as well as their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and as possible therapeutic targets in future personalized medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circular RNA and miR-7 in Cancer

TL;DR: The current knowledge about the ciRS-7/miR-7 axis in cancer-related pathways is reviewed and possible models explaining the relevance of coexpressing miR- 7 along with a circRNA inhibitor are discussed.
