This study shows K5 polysaccharides inhibit SARS-CoV-2 by blocking spike binding to ACE2 and furin cleavage, with K5OSH showing stronger antiviral activity than heparin.

The paper analyzes the genetic and structural features of the SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1 variant to assess its potential for epidemiological expansion and finds it lacks significant evolutionary diversification and immune escape capabilities compared to BA.5.

The paper investigates the Q675H mutation in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, showing it arises through parallel evolution and enhances viral entry by improving furin cleavage efficiency.
