Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) MicroRNAs: Involvement in Cancer Pathogenesis and Immunopathology
25 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which infects over 90% of adults, appears to have evolved to exploit the normal biology of B-cell development in order to persist as a life-long asymptomatic infection. However, EBV can contribute to oncogenesis. It has become evident that alterations in the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) from the host cell and EBV can also contribute to cancer pathogenesis. MicroRNAs function by...
