This study shows that Zika virus replicates in mouse brain tissues across developmental stages and disrupts neurodevelopment, leading to congenital CNS complications.

The paper identifies capsid residues critical for poliovirus binding to a chimeric receptor by analyzing variants that replicate in cells expressing the receptor.

This study shows that EV-D68 isolates from different time periods infect neurons and astrocytes regardless of sialic acid dependence, indicating neurotropism is not a recent adaptation.
