The paper shows eIF4E3 enables efficient translation of viral mRNAs with short 5' UTRs, unlike the canonical eIF4E1, and identifies this as a mechanism used by viruses like VSV to bypass host translation suppression.

This study identifies LSM14A's role in antiviral immunity independent of its localization to P-bodies and peroxisomes, revealing a specialized interaction network that enhances innate immune signaling.

This study identifies cis-aconitate as a dual-action antiviral and anti-inflammatory agent that reduces influenza mortality in mice by targeting viral polymerase and ERK/AKT/NF-κB signaling.
