As microRNA biology has been implicated in everything from the development of cancer to virus infections, a new tool developed by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai holds tremendous potential to develop new therapies that involve these small regulatory fragments of RNA. The scientists’ findings are detailed in a study, titled “MicroRNA Function is Limited to Cytokine Control in the Acute Response to Virus Infection,” published in the December issue of Cell Host & Microbe
