title: Does an emergency visit to the ER make microRNAs stronger during stress?
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Wu et al. (2013) report the identification of GW182-independent microRNA complexes that confer stronger repression upon serum starvation; interestingly, these complexes are associated with polyribosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum.
