Enterovirus-A71 Preferentially Infects and Replicates in Human Motor Neurons, Inducing Neurodegeneration by Ferroptosis
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) causes Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and has been clinically associated with neurological complications. However, there is a lack of relevant models to elucidate the neuropathology of EV71 and its mechanism, as the current models mainly utilize animal model or immortalized cell lines. In this study, we established a human motor neuron model for EV71 infection. Overall design: scRNA-seq were performed in hESC-derived spinal neuronal cultures after Mock-infected or EV71 (S41) infected
