Why hcv attack on hepatocytes please give me details.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hepatitis: Different viruses have different preferences for the types of tissue cells in which they multiply and produce inflammation. Why hepatocytes rather than brain tissue is not entirely clear. Some prefer the GI tract, some the lungs, etc.
