SMADs stimulate miRNA processing.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potent regulators of gene expression. Consequently, miRNA expression is tightly regulated itself. In this issue, Hata and coworkers provide mechanistic insights into how SMAD proteins regulated the biogenesis of a specific subset of human miRNAs.
