Zika Virus-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis via Increased Mitochondrial Fragmentation

Zika Virus-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis via Increased Mitochondrial Fragmentation

The 2015 to 2016 outbreak of Zika virus (ZIKV) infections in the Americas coincided with a dramatic increase in neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including fetal microcephaly, in newborns born to infected women. In this study, we observed mitochondrial fragmentation and disrupted mitochondrial membr...
