Abstract

Avian and swine influenza A viruses hijack distinct sets of noncoding microRNAs of human host cells that they infect, according to Francois Jean of the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and his collaborators. “If we target these microRNAs, we could develop novel broad-spectrum antivirals against highly pathogenic viruses,” he says. Their report appeared March 21, 2012 in the Journal of Virology [doi:10.1128/JVI.06892-11].
