Neu5Gc binding loss of subtype H7 influenza A virus facilitates adaptation to gallinaceous poultry following transmission from waterbirds but restricts spillback

This study shows H7 influenza A viruses lose Neu5Gc binding during adaptation to chickens, enhancing transmissibility in poultry but reducing transmission back to wild birds.

Collagen and actin network mediate antiviral immunity against Orsay in C. elegans intestinal cells

The paper identifies collagens and actin networks as antiviral barriers in C. elegans intestinal cells against Orsay virus.

DNA capture and loop extrusion dynamics by cohesin-NIPBL

This study uses high-speed AFM to show cohesin-NIPBL captures DNA through arm extension and initiates loop extrusion without ATP hydrolysis, revealing mechanisms of DNA binding and loop formation.
