SARS-CoV-2 ORF3c impairs mitochondrial respiratory metabolism, oxidative stress and autophagic flow

A. Mozzi, M. Oldani, M. E. Forcella, C. Vantaggiato, G. Cappelletti, C. Pontremoli, F. Valenti, D. Forni, M. Biasin, M. Sironi, P. Fusi, R. Cagliani

This study identifies ORF3c as a SARS-CoV-2 protein that disrupts mitochondrial metabolism, increases oxidative stress, and blocks autophagy, potentially contributing to disease progression.

Simplexviruses successfully adapt to their host by fine-tuning immune responses

A. Mozzi, R. Cagliani, C. Pontremoli, D. Forni, I. Saulle, M. Saresella, U. Pozzoli, M. Clerici, M. Biasin, M. Sironi

This study identifies positive selection in herpes simplex virus glycoproteins that influence immune escape mechanisms and HLA-G expression, explaining their adaptation to hominins.

Antigenic variation of SARS-CoV-2 in response to immune pressure

D. Forni, R. Cagliani, C. Pontremoli, A. Mozzi, U. Pozzoli, M. Clerici, M. Sironi

The paper analyzes SARS-CoV-2 genome diversity to show that B cell epitopes are more variable than non-epitope regions, while T cell epitopes show reduced variability, suggesting immune evasion strategies.
