The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as fine-tuners of gene expression is now well established
in most aspects of cellular biology. Critically, it is becoming apparent that characterization of
miRNA regulation could further the understanding of elusive cellular processes. Here, I
briefly review the current literature assessing the role of miRNAs in the modulation of
neutrophil biology and discuss how the definition of such miRNA regulation could help in the
better understanding of neutrophil function.
