چکیده جلسه

Within the complex tapestry of cellular regulation, small non-coding RNAs have emerged as silent orchestrators, guiding diverse physiological processes with precision. Among them, the PIWI-Interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have garnered recognition for their indispensable roles in biogenesis and safeguarding genomic stability. Nevertheless, as the pages of molecular biology turn, a captivating narrative unfolds—one that transcends the conventional boundaries of cellular homeostasis into the complex landscape of cancer biology. 
Through this exploration, we seek to unravel the enigma of piRNAs in cancer biology, shedding light on their potential as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. As we start this journey, the complex interplay between piRNA biology and cancer pathology will be unveiled, offering insights that may redefine our understanding of these small RNA molecules and their implications for human health. In this presentation, we will also review recent advancements in piRNA investigations and valuable databases, enriching our comprehension of their multifaceted roles in cellular processes.
