Mounting evidence indicates that sperm RNAs have important functions in spermatogonial processes and are potential markers in the diagnosis of and decision-making for male idiopathic infertility. Here, the authors describe current evidence and suggest necessary future studies to translate this evidence into clinical practice.

PIONEER is a European network of excellence for big data in prostate cancer, which brings together private and public stakeholders from nine countries in one multidisciplinary research consortium. In this Perspectives, members of the consortium detail the achievements of PIONEER and describe its goal of maximizing the potential of big data to improve prostate cancer care in the future.

In this Perspective, the authors provide an overview of the most promising deregulated non-coding RNAs in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, discussing the role of different classes of non-coding RNAs in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma development and progression. Future perspectives and challenges associated with the translation of these markers into clinical practice are also discussed.

In this Review, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of videourodynamics, discussing terminology, technique, findings, limitations and future perspectives associated with this approach.
