Monkeypox virus spreads from cell-to-cell and leads to neuronal death in human neural organoids

Isabel Schultz-Pernice, Amal Fahmi, Francisco Brito…·Marco P. Alves

This study shows MPXV spreads cell-to-cell in human neural organoids, causing neuronal death and neuritic bead formation, and identifies tecovirimat as effective in reducing viral load.

Aging shapes infection profiles of influenza A virus and SARS-CoV-2 in human lung slices

Melanie Brügger, Carlos Machahua, Trix Zumkehr…·Marco P. Alves

This study shows that aged lung tissue reduces viral replication of IAV and SARS-CoV-2 but increases inflammatory responses, suggesting immune dysregulation contributes to severe disease.
