Abstract

(Okayama, 29 November 2016) Researchers at Okayama University have successfully cleaved influenza viral RNA to prevent its replication using novel artificial RNA restriction enzymes in laboratory cell cultures. While further improvements are needed, the findings show great promise and could lead to anti-viral drug development in future. The findings are published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, October 2016.
