RNA-binding proteins of the evolutionarily-conserved MEX-3 family are mediators of post-transcriptional regulation in different organisms. Recent studies highlight their involvement in diverse physiological settings, including the maintenance of a balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Here, we draw attention to their putative role in tissue homeostasis and disease, particularly cancer.
