Abstrakt: Dicer-deficient cancers have poor prognoses, which is linked to the degradation of tumour-suppressing miRNA precursors by the Translin-Trax (Tn-Tx) ribonuclease. Inhibition of Tn-Tx potentially offers a new therapeutic intervention point. However, Tn-Tx functions in an array of biological processes, and here we consider how this complexity could influence therapeutic design strategies.
