Endosomal rupture enables enterovirus entry; extends mechanistic virology but leaves open antiviral strategies for myocarditis.
Enteroviruses enter the host cell cytoplasm by inducing endosome rupture, a mechanism likely shared across the Picornaviridae family.
Ishemgulova et al. (2024) studied this question.
