"The study of Popova et al. highlights the importance of using human cell-based models to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of congenital rubella syndrome. It remains to be seen why and how the rubella virus specifically attacks microglia, and what its molecular targets are. Identifying the molecular cues released by other brain cells, which potentially increase infection, will be necessary to eventually develop therapies against congenital rubella syndrome."
