This study investigates the role of Casd1 in sialic acid O-acetylation of intestinal mucus and its impact on tissue damage susceptibility in mice.

This study shows bovine H5N1 influenza viruses have adapted to efficiently use NeuGc receptors in cattle, enhancing replication without significantly altering zoonotic risk.

The paper compares the evolutionary patterns of feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) and canine parvovirus (CPV) to understand host-jumping and pandemic emergence.

This paper designs an engineered receptor to study influenza A virus binding and entry, showing it enables efficient virus uptake and infection similar to sialic acid receptors.

This paper tracks the evolution and epidemiology of H3N2 canine influenza virus over 20 years in dogs, showing it evolves at a constant rate and spreads rapidly in dense populations but requires long-distance dispersal to sustain outbreaks.

The paper develops sialoglycan-recognizing probes (SGRPs) to systematically study mammalian sialoglycome dynamics using established laboratory techniques.
