Twenty-three new Yersinia pestis genomes from Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Iceland and Armenia extend the Second Plague Pandemic phylogeny, with the first Icelandic plague genome and eastward-spreading pestis secunda strains.

This paper predicts filovirus host susceptibility in bats by integrating molecular binding data with ecological and phylogenetic information across 1,300 species.

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to analyze how mutations in the SHC014-CoV spike protein affect its structural dynamics and allosteric communication, revealing mechanisms that enhance viral entry.

This paper identifies an adaptive mutation in the WIV1-CoV spike protein that enhances ACE2 binding and cell entry by altering spike dynamics, suggesting alternative spillover mechanisms for bat sarbecoviruses.

The paper investigates how SARS-like bat coronaviruses evolve enhanced receptor binding and cell entry through specific genetic substitutions.

The paper investigates the impact of the EphA1 P460L mutation on Rho-GTPase signaling in Alzheimer's disease, showing it leads to constitutive receptor activity and dysregulated signaling.
