Deskripsi
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a role in cardiac physiology and disease. Here the authors identify the lncRNA Caren as a cytoplasmic RNA that decreases the translation of a distant gene encoding Hint1, thereby maintaining cardiomyocyte function due to inactivation of the DNA damage response and activation of mitochondrial bioenergetics.
