Core Tip

Core Tip: Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play vital roles in post-transcriptional RNA processing, influencing the cell fate and diverse disease progression. Dysregulated snoRNAs in various cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), show promise for improving prognosis and diagnosis. Despite this potential, understanding of snoRNAs’ roles in CRC remains limited, warranting further research into their precise functions.
