In silico identification of MicroRNAs targeting the key nucleator of stress granules, G3BP: Promising therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 infection

Stress granules (SGs) are non-membrane ribonucleoprotein condensates formed in response to environmental stress conditions via liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). SGs are involved in the pathogenesis of aging and aging-associated diseases, cancers, viral infection, and several other diseases. GTP...
