Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of evolutionally conserved, single-stranded, small
(approximately 19− 23 nucleotides), endogenously expressed, and non-protein-coding …

Powerful methods now allow the imaging of specific mRNAs in living cells. These methods
enlist fluorescent proteins to illuminate mRNAs, use labeled oligonucleotide probes and …

The influenza A virus RNA genome segments are packaged in ribonucleoprotein complexes
containing RNA polymerase and nucleoprotein. The ribonucleoprotein is involved in the …

The heterotrimeric RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of influenza viruses catalyzes RNA
replication and transcription activities in infected cell nuclei. The nucleotide polymerization …

Both the transcription of mRNAs from genes and their subsequent translation into proteins
are inherently stochastic biochemical events, and this randomness can lead to substantial …

Most viruses express one or several proteins that counter the antiviral defences of the host
cell. This is the task of non-structural protein NS1 in influenza viruses. Absent in the viral …

As a group, influenza-A viruses (IAV) infect a wide range of animal hosts, however, they are
constrained to infecting selected host species by species-specific interactions between the …

During their nuclear replication stage, influenza viruses hijack the host splicing machinery to
process some of their RNA segments, the M and NS segments. In this review, we provide an …

Influenza A virus is a human pathogen with a genome composed of eight viral RNA
segments that replicate in the nucleus. Two viral mRNAs are alternatively spliced. The …

Carrageenans, the sulphated galactans derived from red algae, are attracting increasing
interest in developing potential anti-viral drugs. In this study, low molecular weight κ …
