Abstract
Cancer is a multifactorial pathological condition characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation, genomic instability, and evasion of regulatory mechanisms. It arises from the accumulation of genetic mutations confer selective growth advantages, leading to malignant transformation and tumor formation. The intricate interplay between LncRNAs and the Hedgehog pathway has emerged as a captivating frontier in cancer research. The Hedgehog pathway, known for its fundamental roles in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, is frequently dysregulated in various cancers, contributing to aberrant cellular proliferation, survival, and differentiation. The Hh pathway is crucial in organizing growth and maturation processes in multicellular organisms. It plays a pivotal role in the initiation of tumors as well as in conferring resistance to conventional therapeutic approaches. The crosstalk among the Hh pathway and lncRNAs affects the expression of Hh signaling components through various transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Numerous pathogenic processes, including both non-malignant and malignant illnesses, have been identified to be induced by this interaction. The dysregulation of lncRNAs has been associated with the activation or inhibition of the Hh pathway, making it a potential therapeutic target against tumorigenesis. Insights into the functional significance of LncRNAs in Hedgehog pathway modulation provide promising avenues for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. The dysregulation of LncRNAs in various cancer types underscores their potential as biomarkers for early detection and prognostication. Additionally, targeting LncRNAs associated with the Hedgehog pathway presents an innovative strategy for developing precision therapeutics to restore pathway homeostasis and impede cancer progression. This review aims to elucidate the complex regulatory network orchestrated by LncRNAs, unravelling their pivotal roles in modulating the Hedgehog pathway and influencing cancer progression.

Abstract
Overcoming senescence with tissue engineering has a promising impact on multiple diseases. Here, we provide an overview of recent studies in which cellular senescence was inhibited through the up/downregulation of specific lncRNAs. This approach prevented senescence in the bones, joints, nervous system, heart, and blood vessels, with a potential impact on regeneration and the prevention of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, as well as neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Senescence of the skin and liver could also be prevented through the regulation of cellular levels of specific lncRNAs, resulting in the rejuvenation of cells from these organs and their potential protection from disease. From these exciting achievements, which support tissue regeneration and are not restricted to stem cells, we propose lncRNA regulation through RNA or gene therapies as a prospective preventive and therapeutic approach against aging and multiple aging-related diseases.
