The Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Supports HCMV Infection and Biosynthesis in Mammary Epithelial Cells Through Two Distinct Mechanisms.

This study shows that inducing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in mammary epithelial cells restores HCMV biosynthesis through two distinct mechanisms: enhanced viral entry and enhanced mRNA translation.

ARPE-19 Epithelial Cells Fail To Initiate Type-I Interferon Signaling in Response to Human Cytomegalovirus Infection.

This study shows that ARPE-19 cells fail to initiate type-I interferon signaling in response to HCMV infection due to low expression of key pattern recognition receptors and signaling molecules.
