Mammalian microRNAs: post-transcriptional gene regulation in RNA virus infection and therapeutic applications

RNA silencing mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) is a recently discovered gene regulatory mechanism involved in various aspects of biology, such as development, cell differentiation and proliferation, and innate immunity against viral infections. miRNAs, which are a class of small (21–25 nucleotides) RN...
