MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gene regulators involved in the pathogenesis of complex
diseases such as cancers, and thus serve as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic …

In eukaryotic RNA-based antiviral immunity, viral double-stranded RNA is recognized as a
pathogen-associated molecular pattern and processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) …

Viruses with RNA genomes dominate the eukaryotic virome, reaching enormous diversity in
animals and plants. The recent advances of metaviromics prompted us to perform a detailed …

Selective autophagy is a double-edged sword in antiviral immunity and regulated by various
autophagy receptors. However, it remains unclear how to balance the opposite roles by one …

Although viruses are most often studied as pathogens, many are beneficial to their hosts,
providing essential functions in some cases and conditionally beneficial functions in others …

Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Disease incited by Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV)
causes huge losses in tomato production worldwide and is caused by different related …

The infection and replication of viruses in the host induce diverse mechanisms for combating
viral infection. One of the best-studied antiviral defence mechanisms is based on RNA …

There is evidence that eukaryotic miRNAs (hereafter called host miRNAs) play a role in the
replication and propagation of viruses. Expression or targeting of host miRNAs can be …

The question whether or not “viruses are alive” has caused considerable debate over many
years. Yet, the question is effectively without substance because the answer depends …

Members of the virus family Narnaviridae contain the simplest genomes of any RNA virus,
ranging from 2.3 to 3.6 kb and encoding only a single polypeptide that has an RNA …
