Scientists recreate enterovirus infection in a new model of the human intestine
A miniaturized, biomimetic model of the human intestine has successfully reproduced long-term enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infection, report researchers from Science Tokyo.
Summary
A miniaturized, biomimetic model of the human intestine has successfully reproduced long-term enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infection, report researchers from Science Tokyo. Using this innovative platform, they shed light on how this virus grows in the intestine without triggering a strong immune response. Their findings, appearing in the Journal of Virology , could help develop effective treatments for EV-A71 infectious diseases. Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a widespread virus that primarily infects infants and young children, often causing conditions such as hand, foot, and mouth disease.
