Title: Viral pathogenesis: HCV RNA acts as a miR-122 sponge.
Authors: Nunes-Alves, Cláudio
Abstract: The article discusses a study conducted by researcher J. M. Luna and colleages which found that the extensive binding of liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-22) to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA reduced the binding of miR-22 to cellular messenger RNAs.
