New Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences Research Topic: The Non-coding Transcriptome as a New Player in Intercellular Interaction! Submit your abstracts by 1st July

April 9, 2020

The aim of this Research Topic is to provide novel information about the potential role of ncRNAs as endocrine mediators. To achieve this we will address a variety of topics. We do not yet fully understand the cellular machinery involved in the release of ncRNAs in extracellular vesicles, proteins or lipoproteins, the pathways implicated in […]

4th call for EU-CardioRNA Short-term Scientific Mission awards!

March 28, 2020

The COST Action CardioRNA CA17129 (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA17129) is launching the fourth call for short-term scientific mission (STSM) fellowships. STSMs aim to foster new collaborations between the laboratories participating in the Action and beyond, to learn new techniques or to use specific equipment not available in the applicant’s institute, and promote the objectives of the Action. This […]

Takara Live Webinar: Total RNA sequencing of liquid biopsies Thursday, March 26, 2020, 10:30 AM CET

March 24, 2020

RNA profiling has emerged as a powerful tool to investigate the biomarker potential of human biofluids. However, despite enormous interest in extracellular nucleic acids, RNA sequencing methods to quantify the total RNA content outside cells are rare. In this webinar, Jo Vandesompele, PhD – CSO at Biogazelle, will discuss the performance of the SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq […]

An excellent new read: Exosomes: From Potential Culprits to New Therapeutic Promise in the Setting of Cardiac Fibrosis in Cells

March 23, 2020

A great new review to read from our colleagues Roman Tikhomirov, Francesco Catapano, Fabio Martelli and Costanza Emanueli Fibrosis is a significant global health problem associated with many inflammatory and degenerative diseases affecting multiple organs, individually or simultaneously. Fibrosis develops when extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling becomes excessive or uncontrolled and is associated with nearly all […]

Wishing all our EU-CardioRNA COST members good health, safety and positivity during this difficult time

March 16, 2020

As you are all more-than well aware, we are in the midst of a world health crisis and official pandemic, as confirmed by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Many of you are in highly affected areas that have been in lock down for some time already, others are just starting to be affected by social […]
