Abstract excerpt
Dicer is an RNase III enzyme that is responsible for the maturation of small RNAs such as microRNAs. As Dicer's cleavage products play key roles in promoting cellular homeostasis through the fine-tuning of gene expression, dysregulation of Dicer activity can lead to several human diseases, including cancers. Mutations in Dicer have been found to induce tumorigenesis and lead to the development of a rare...
