Feedback between a retinoid-related nuclear receptor and the let-7 microRNAs controls the pace and number of molting cycles in C. elegans.

Ruhi Patel, Himani Galagali, John K. Kim, Alison R. Frand

The paper identifies a feedback loop between NHR-23 and let-7 microRNAs that regulates molting cycles in C. elegans by controlling cycle frequency and number.
