“The study is a proof of concept that CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to destroy DNA viruses and block viral infection and disease progression,” said Yinong Yang, who studies molecular plant-microbe ...

Herpesvirus-encoded microRNAs (v-miRNAs) play a crucial role in modulating host cellular processes to promote viral persistence, immune evasion, and pathogenesis. These v-miRNAs function by targeting ...

As viral vaccines are increasingly used to meet global health needs, the pharmaceutical industry is manufacturing larger ...
