title: Ribozyme therapeutics.
abstract: Since their initial discovery, ribozymes have shown great promise not just as a tool in the manipulation of gene expression, but also as a novel therapeutic agent. This review discusses the promises and pitfalls of ribozyme technology, with a special emphasis on cancer-related applications, though relevance to skin disease will also be discussed.
