Brief description microRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a novel mechanism used by cells and viruses to regulate gene expression. Studies carried out in non-human primates demonstrated great potential for miRNA-inhibiting drugs as novel antiviral agents against hepatitis C virus infection. By characterising how miRNAs control the antiviral state, we will gain new insights into how miRNA-modulating drugs could present novel strategies to treat viral infections.
