Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To observe and control viral expression and replication at a molecular level is important for understanding the control points, such as from gene knockdown and suppression. This Special Issue will focus on DNA and RNA viruses and how to regulate expression and interact with host organelle via processes such as mitochondrial-related cell death and autophagy flux. Moreover, research on novel antiviral compounds and drugs is also included.
