A new role for miR-182 in DNA repair.
A role for miRNAs in modulating cellular responses to DNA damage and chemotherapy is emerging. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Moskwa and colleagues propose a novel function for miR-182 in the posttranscriptional regulation of BRCA1 expression and in DNA repair (Moskwa et al., 2011).
