  "summary": "Despite the global burden of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, host-virus interactions underlying HEV pathogenesis and progression to chronicity remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to characterize the host transcriptomic response to infection with HEV variants harboring different host- and virus-derived insertions in the hypervariable region (HVR), with a focus on innate immune…",
