Comment

This is an excellent study that has, for the first time, linked miRNAs with the control of systemic iron homeostasis. miRNAs are being increasingly linked with the regulation of many cellular processes. For example, the liver-specific miRNA studied in this article, miR-122, has been previously linked with lipid metabolism and hepatitis C virus replication (Nucleic Acids Res 2008;36:1153–1162; Cell Metab 2006;3:87–98; Science 2005;309:1577–1581). The authors suggest that the observed reduction
