Description
HSV-gB exposure increases HDAC levels and causes histone hypoacetylation, but the signaling pathways connecting viral glycoprotein recognition to specific histone deacetylase activation remain unknown. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for developing targeted interventions against virus-mediated neurodegeneration.
