About this Research Topic
Onconephrology is a new subspecialty of nephrology that encompasses the intersection of nephrology with oncology and highlights the important needs of those patients with cancer who also have multiple forms of kidney disease. Broadly speaking, the mission of nephrology is to help cancer teams identify, treat and prevent kidney problems.
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of functional RNAs that are not normally translated into proteins and include microRNAs (miRNAs), long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). A growing number of studies have identified that non-coding RNAs play an important role in the renal cell carcinoma tumour microenvironment, progression, metastasis and drug resistance.
This Research Topic will focus on the role of non-coding RNAs in renal tumour progression and metastasis, aiming to collect high-quality original research articles and review articles related to the development of non-coding RNAs and tumour nephrology and providing insights in the early identification and treatment of nephrology.
In this Research Topic, we welcome original research articles and review articles that explore (but are not limited to) the following list of topics.
-circRNA, lncRNA, miRNA in the development or metastasis of renal tumours
-Therapeutic strategies targeting non-coding RNAs
-Nanomaterials combined with non-coding RNAs for the treatment of renal tumours
- Novel non-coding RNAs for predicting anti-cancer drug response in renal tumours
