Effects of Non-Coding RNA on Regulatory T Cells and Implications for Treatment of Immunological Diseases

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for regulating immune reactions and maintaining immune homeostasis. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, usually do not encode proteins but regulate intracellular biological processes at post-transcriptional levels. These nc...
