Core Tip

Core Tip: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well known for post-transcriptional regulatory ability over specific mRNA targets. In this review we intended to study the inter-regulatory role of miRNAs in the interaction between viruses and stem cells and tried to explain the advantages of miRNA regulatory potentials, which make a new landscape for future studies.
