Hypothesis-generating for NGFR-mediated EV71 neurovirulence in neuronal models; human validation required before any clinical consideration.
Enterovirus 71 exhibits strong tropism for neuronal cells, potentially mediated by the neuron growth factor receptor (NGFR), consistent with clinical observations of its neurological impact.
Wen et al. (2003) studied this question.
