Can targeting specific microRNAs be a potential treatment for enteroviral infections?

Targeting specific microRNAs could potentially be a valuable treatment approach for enteroviral infections. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. In the context of enteroviral infections, certain microRNAs have been found to either enhance or suppress viral replication and the host immune response. By targeting these specific microRNAs, it may be possible to manipulate their function and subsequently limit viral replication or boost the immune response against the infection. However, further research is needed to elucidate the intricate interactions between microRNAs and enteroviruses, and to develop effective therapeutic strategies to combat these infectious diseases.
