Researchers find snoRNAs impact protein secretion in cells, opening new therapeutic paths.

Researchers from the University of Chicago have uncovered thousands of new targets for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in human and mouse cells, revealing their role in protein secretion. This discovery, made using a new tool called snoKARR-seq, shows that snoRNAs can influence how proteins are sent outside cells, which is vital for cell communication and immune responses. The findings could lead to new therapeutic approaches for diseases related to protein secretion deficiencies.
