Open AccessSingle-cell RNA sequencing reveals the fragility of male spermatogenic cells to Zika virus-induced complement activation
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a potential threat to male reproductive health but the mechanisms underlying its influence on testes during ZIKV infection remain obscure. To address this question, we perform single-cell ...
