    GlossaryCircular RNAs

    circular RNA molecules form closed loops, enhancing stability

    Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a type of RNA molecule that, unlike the more common linear RNAs, form a covalently closed loop. This unique structure makes them more stable and resistant to degradation. They play various roles in gene regulation, including acting as molecular sponges for microRNAs, and are being studied for their potential involvement in diseases and as therapeutic targets.
