Topic: Noncoding RNAs in Cancer Immunotherapy

A group of molecules known as noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs)—including microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs)—has emerged as a pivotal element in regulating immune responses. Despite their inability to produce proteins, these remarkable molecules are central to the regulation of gene expression. They profoundly influence various aspects of cancer behavior, including cell growth, apoptosis, metastasis, and even the surrounding tumor environment. Their role in modulating the immune system's ability to identify and eliminate cancer cells positions themselves as vital biomarkers and targets for therapeutic intervention.

We are on the lookout for fresh research, insightful reviews, and concise reports that cast a spotlight on how ncRNA mechanisms play into cancer immunity and its treatment. We are especially interested in works exploring how ncRNAs operate within the tumor microenvironment, their involvement in managing immune checkpoints, and their potential to serve as predictors for immunotherapy.
