AI Article Synopsis

  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules present in many animals and viruses, playing critical roles in various biological processes.
  • Taganov et al. explore how miRNAs influence the innate immune response, which is the body's first line of defense against microbial infections.
  • The study highlights the significance of miRNAs in regulating immune responses and their potential implications for understanding immune-related diseases.

Article Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are found in most metazoan organisms as well as in viruses and are implicated in an increasingly wide variety of biological processes in animals. Here, Taganov et al. discuss the role of miRNAs in the innate immune response to microbial infection.
