Herpes simplex virus 1 evades cellular antiviral response by inducing microRNA-24, which attenuates STING synthesis.

STING is a nodal point for cellular innate immune response to microbial infections, autoimmunity and cancer; it triggers the synthesis of the antiviral proteins, type I interferons. Many DNA viruses, including Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV1), trigger STING signaling causing inhibition of virus replica...
