Identification of the novel 3′ UTR sequences of human IL-21 mRNA as potential targets of miRNAs
Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. However, the strategy of HBV to escape from the host immune system remains largely unknown. In this study, we examined extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from human hepatocytes infected with HBV....
