Abstract:
Highlights? Intracellular signaling predicts the fate of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-infected cells ? p38 and ERK signaling pathways are tightly interconnected during CVB3 infection ? CVB3-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes is inhibited by ERK5 and ERK1/2 pathways ? CVB3 induces necrosis of cardiomyocytes via p38 activation
