David Baltimore; "MicroRNAs are an important
class of molecules only recently uncovered. Most previous
work had associated these small RNAs with regulation during
embryonic development. The understanding that they play a
role in inflammation extends their

directly connected an uncoupling function of mitochondrial
uncoupling proteins to activation by reactive oxygen
species (specifically, superoxide). It opened up a
mechanistic link that also suggested physiological
function, and so..."
