There is a surprising new role for a microRNA in the accumulation of hepatitis C virus in the liver, a study in Science suggests. A team led by Peter Sarnow at Stanford University School of Medicine found that the liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-122) interacts with the 5' noncoding region of the viral mRNA to enhance its replication.
