HCMV infection triggers smooth muscle cell proliferation in a 3D human coronary in vitro model

Abstract Background: Although a role of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in atherosclerosis and restenosis is probable, clinical studies are not conclusive. The present study investigates in a threedimensional (3D)
