Influenza A and B Virus-Triggered Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition Is Relevant to the Binding Ability of NA to Latent TGF-β

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important mechanism of lung tissue repair after injury, but excessive EMT may lead to pulmonary fibrosis, respiratory failure, and even death. The EMT triggered by influenza A virus (IAV) and influenza B virus (IBV) is not well understood. We hypothesize...
