Abstract

The molecular basis dictating specificity of Zika virus infection in neural stem cells (NSCs) remains elusive. Two recent papers in Cell Stem Cell (Zhu et al., 2020) and Cell Reports (Wang et al., 2020) identify integrin αvβ5 as an internalization factor that increases susceptibility in NSCs and glioblastoma stem cells.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
