Uncovers how herpes simplex virus 1 alters cytokine production in microglia, suggesting implications for immune response in the central nervous system.
Microglia is a key regulatory factor within the central nervous system. Study of those cells’ response to herpes simplex virus 1 is of particular interest. When they are infected with herpesvirus, innate immunity receptors are activated, which leads to the synthesis of cytokines and microglia polarization.
