title: Regulating the ribosome: a spotlight on RNA dark matter.
abstract: In this issue, Pircher et al. (2014) show that an abundant ribosome-associated 18 nt noncoding RNA (ncRNA), derived from the open reading frame of an mRNA, acts directly on the ribosome and regulates global translation levels in response to hypertonic shock.
