In “Knockdown of mitotically associated long non-coding RNA dysregulates endothelial function, transcriptome, and proteome”, authors show that mitotically associated long non-coding RNA (MANCR) is decreased in fetal endothelial cells in preeclampsia. They also reveal, for the first time, that MANCR significantly regulates endothelial function in association with fetal sex-specific changes in global gene and protein expression.
