Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals that the Local Immune Response to Placental Guinea Pig Cytomegalovirus Infection is Driven by Chemokine Signaling

Zachary W. Berkebile, Colleen L. Forster, Emma Stanley…·Craig J. Bierle

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to show that GPCMV infection disrupts placental function by altering chemokine signaling and antiviral defense in specific regions.
