title: Stay tuned: miRNA expression and nonsense-mediated decay in brain development.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell (Bruno et al., 2011), regulation of the key nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) proteins UPF1 and MNL51 (BTZ) by miRNA 128 is discovered to fine-tune gene expression in brain differentiation, thus documenting a novel cooperation of two posttranscriptional mechanisms of gene regulation in developmental decision making.
