Recent progress in microRNA-based delivery systems for the treatment of human disease

Yong Fu, Jiangning Chen, Zhen Huang · 4 Aug 2019

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are naturally occurring, small non-coding RNAs that mediate posttranscriptional regulation. Based on the level of sequence complementarity, miRNAs lead to the degradation of target mRNAs or the suppression of mRNA translation, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and achieving the regulation of genes. miRNAs, which exhibit tissue- and temporal- specific expression, are important…

Biogenesis and function of extracellular miRNAs

Chihao Zhao, Xinlei Sun, Limin Li · 26 Apr 2019

Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) are 18–24-nucleotide non-coding RNAs with post-transcriptional regulatory functions and have been documented as an essential cornerstone of the genetic system. Although the traditional idea suggests that RNA molecules cannot be stable in extracellular environments due to ubiquitous ribonuclease, miRNA has now been verified as circulating in various body fluids in a stable,…

microRNAs in viral acute respiratory infections: immune regulation, biomarkers, therapy, and vaccines

Stephen Adonai Leon‐Icaza, Mingtao Zeng, Adrián G. Rosas-Taraco · 14 Feb 2019

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded RNAs of 17-24 nt. These molecules regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are differentially expressed in viral acute respiratory infections (ARIs), which are responsible for high morbidity and mortality around the world. In recent years, miRNAs have been studied in order to discover anti-viral ARI drug targets as well…

Systemic spreading of exogenous applied RNA biopesticides in the crop plant Hordeum vulgare

Dagmar Biedenkopf, Torsten Will, Torsten Knauer et al. · 19 Aug 2020

Small (s) RNA molecules are crucial factors in the communication between hosts and their interacting pathogens/pests that can modulate both host defense and microbial virulence/pathogenicity known as cross-kingdom RNA interference (ckRNAi). Consistent with this, sRNAs and their double-stranded (ds) RNA precursors have been adopted to control plant diseases through exogenously applied RNA biopesticides, known as…

Circular RNA: functions, applications and prospects

Minghon Lu · 2 Mar 2020

Abstract Following improvement and integration of novel genome sequencing techniques, a new stage light has been shone upon circular RNAs (circRNA) in regard to their structure and functionality. In comparison to their linear counterparts, circRNA possess a multitude of remarkable functions such as microRNA (miRNA) sponging, RNA-binding protein (RBP) regulation and translational capabilities whose research…

ExRNA template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the ExRNA format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the ExRNA template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does ExRNA use?
ExRNA uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. ExRNA. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to ExRNA?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready ExRNA document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the ExRNA template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the ExRNA format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes ExRNA?
ExRNA is a life sciences and medicine journal published by BMC (BioMed Central). DocuGuru's ExRNA template matches BMC (BioMed Central)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready ExRNA PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official ExRNA template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the ExRNA template cost?
You can start writing in the ExRNA template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready ExRNA PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
