A human sensory neuron model for varicella-zoster virus latency and reactivation <i>in vitro</i>
2025-12-12
Abstract excerpt
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a ubiquitous human neurotropic alphaherpesvirus that establishes lifelong latency in sensory ganglionic neurons. Subsequent viral reactivation causes herpes zoster, a morbid disease often complicated by neuropathic pain. Mechanisms underlying VZV latency and reactivation are not understood, mostly due to the lack of permissive animal models and challenges of current in vitro latenc...
