@article{Moradpour2007ReplicationOH, title={Replication of hepatitis C virus}, author={Darius Moradpour and François Penin and Charles M. Rice}, journal={Nature Reviews Microbiology}, year={2007}, volume={5}, pages={453-463} }
Exciting progress has recently been made in understanding the replication of hepatitis C virus, a major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. The development of complete cell-culture systems should now enable the systematic dissection of the entire viral lifecycle, providing insights into the hitherto difficult-to-study early and late steps. These efforts have already translated into the identification of novel antiviral targets and the development…
