SNHG5 promotes colorectal cancer cell survival by counteracting STAU1-mediated mRNA destabilization

Several lncRNAs have been linked to cancer. Here, the authors identify SNHG5 as a long non-coding RNA promoting proliferation and survival of colorectal cancer cells by protecting specific mRNAs from STAU1-mediated degradation.
