Encephalomyocarditis virus impairs the blood-brain barrier by degrading tight junction proteins via AKT3-dependent autophagic and apoptotic pathways.
Virulence
Mouse model and in vitro mechanistic data identify AKT3-dependent pathways for EMCV-mediated blood-brain barrier disruption but lack human validation or intervention trial evidence.
