Lupus & antiphospholipid syndrome

Unraveling the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their associated nearby coding genes in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus

Arthritis Res TherPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

The current study provides insights into the dysregulation of lncRNAs and nearby mRNAs in SLE, highlighting potential key players in the pathogenesis of the disease.
