title: Will omics help to cure the flu?
abstract: Influenza virus infections are still a major burden to mankind and our antiviral arsenal against these pathogens is limited. The cellular responses to infection might provide novel targets for intervention strategies. Josset et al. combined comparative transcriptome analysis with literature-based prediction tools for in silico identification of novel host-directed drugs.
