title: Developmental biology: micromanaging muscle growth.
abstract: Much remains to be learnt about the in vivo function of specific microRNAs. Recently, the conserved microRNA miR-1 has been found to be essential for Drosophila development. miR-1 mutants die during the rapid larval growth phase with severe muscle defects.
