Small non-coding RNAs, mammalian cells, and viruses: regulatory interactions?

International audienceRecent findings suggest that mammalian cells can use small non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) to regulatephysiological viral infections. Here, we comment on several lines of evidence that support thisconcept. We discuss how viruses may in turn protect, suppress, evade, modulate, or adapt to thehost cell's ncRNA regulatory schem
