Description

Yang Yue and colleagues published a 2026 review on how coxsackievirus B3, a leading cause of viral heart inflammation, damages the heart through its surrounding cell environment. About one in five cases progress to a weakened, enlarged heart. The review pulls together research on the many cell types living in heart muscle and how each one responds during infection.

Fibroblasts, blood vessel lining cells, mast cells, and several immune cell types each play a part in how the illness develops. The authors then survey treatment ideas aimed at this environment, including drugs that tune cell behavior and smarter ways to deliver them. They also discuss organoid models, computer tools, and blood markers that could support more precise diagnosis and care.
