Cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug, can cause long-lasting kidney injury. The authors explore miRNA:mRNA interactions in cisplatin-injured kidneys and find that such a cisplatin inducible miRNA as miR-429-3p suppresses the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids, leading to stimulation of ferroptotic cell death.
