We read with great interest the Divergent Views article by Connell and colleagues disputing our recent publication describing a role for two microRNAs in the iron-mediated regulation of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) mRNA stability. Our publication sought to shed light on a long-standing question in the field of cellular iron metabolism, and we welcome commentary and critique. However, there are several critical issues contained in the article by Connell and colleagues that require further consideration. We appreciate the opportunity to reply here.
