Zika Virus Infection of Apical Radial Glial Cells (aRGC) in the Developing Brain (Cover illustration) – Zika virus gains entry into neuroprogenitor cells (aRGC) of the developing cerebral cortex by binding to the Axl receptor present on the surface of the aRGCs. Within the aRGCs, the virus divides and vastly increases it population and infectious potential.
