Transfer RNAs and transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in cerebrovascular diseases

This article explores the important functions of transfer RNA and- transfer RNA derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in cellular processes and disease pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on their involvement in cerebrovascular disorders. It discusses the biogenesis and structure of tsRNAs, including types such as tRNA halves and tRNAderived fragments, and their functional significance in gene regulation, stress response, and cell signaling pathways. The importance of tsRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases has already been highlighted, while their role in cerebrovascular diseases is in early phase of exploration. This paper presents the latest advancements in the field of tsRNAs in cerebrovascular conditions, such as ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and moyamoya disease. Furthermore, revealing the aptitude of tsRNAs as biomarkers for the prediction of cerebrovascular diseases and as targets for therapeutic intervention. It provides insights into the role of tsRNAs in these conditions and proposes directions for future research.
