This illustration shows the role of hcmv‐miR‐UL36‐3p in endothelial cell angiogenesis. During productive infection, endothelial cells express HCMV‐encoded miRNAs. Viral hcmv‐miR‐UL36‐3p promotes endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and capillary tube formation by directly targeting and downregulating FOXO3. The pro‐angiogenic activity of hcmv‐miR‐
