This study identifies a novel interaction between SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 and FMRPs, showing that this interaction is critical for viral replication and disease progression.

This study identifies the N679K mutation in Omicron variants as reducing spike protein expression and attenuating SARS-CoV-2 infection, while showing a replication advantage in the upper airway.

This paper shows that SARS-CoV-2's NSP16 protein helps evade immune detection by methylating viral mRNA, and disrupting this function reduces viral replication and disease in hamsters.

This study shows that deleting the QTQTN motif reduces SARS-CoV-2 replication and disease by affecting spike processing and glycosylation.
