Dubai, April 2025 — A major scientific review co-authored by Dr. Arif Hussain, Chairperson of the School of Life Sciences at Manipal Academy of Higher Education – Dubai Campus, has been published, shedding new light on the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the development and progression of female-specific cancers.
 

The paper, titled “Long non-coding RNA involved in the carcinogenesis of human female cancer – a comprehensive review”, appears in a reputed international journal and is co-authored by Nazia Afroze, Madhumitha K Sundaram, Shafiul Haque, and Dr. Arif Hussain.
 

🔬 Key Highlights of the Review:

Explores the influence of lncRNAs on major gynaecological cancers including cervical, breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers.

Identifies key lncRNA molecules that regulate critical cellular processes and cancer signaling pathways.

Highlights the potential of lncRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as targets for novel therapeutic interventions.

The review also discusses emerging treatment strategies involving phytochemicals, RNA-based therapies, small molecule inhibitors, and gene-editing tools, pointing toward a future where lncRNAs could transform the landscape of precision oncology.
 

🧬 “This review is a step toward understanding the complex but promising role of lncRNAs in cancer biology,” said Dr. Hussain. “It’s an exciting time for cancer research, and we are proud to contribute to the global scientific community from Manipal Dubai.”

The publication not only reflects Dr. Hussain’s continued leadership in cutting-edge biomedical research but also positions the School of Life Sciences at MAHE Dubai as a contributor to impactful, globally relevant scientific advancements.
