Abstract excerpt
Objective Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a circular RNA virus coinfecting hepatocytes with hepatitis B virus. Chronic hepatitis D results in severe liver disease and an increased risk of liver cancer. Efficient therapeutic approaches against HDV are absent. Design Here, we combined an RNAi loss-of-function and small molecule screen to uncover host-dependency factors for HDV infection. Results Functional screening...
