High tRNA

Caption

Microscope image of human prostate cancer with a high amount of a distinct tRNA, as shown in dark purple/pink staining. High amounts of a specific tRNA (called  tRNA1Arg(UCU)) were associated with the prostate tumor being dependent on the androgen receptor for growth and with sensitivity to therapies that target the androgen receptor.
