Modulation of Host-Parasite Interactions with Small Molecules Targeting microRNAs.

Parasites use different strategies of communication with their hosts. One communication channel that has been studied in recent years is the use of vesicle microRNAs to influence the host immune system by trematodes. sma-microRNA-10, secreted from , has been shown to influence the fate of host T-cells through manipulation of the NF-κB pathway.
