The paper identifies endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) as an entry receptor for Langya and related parahenipaviruses and describes the structural basis of this interaction.

This study shows simvastatin preserves endothelial barrier function by modulating RhoB localization and activation through mevalonate-dependent mechanisms during TNF stimulation.

This study identifies oncostatin M-driven vascular leak in human endothelial cells through nanoscale channel formation, distinct from junction disassembly, and highlights potential therapeutic targets.

Time-course single-cell RNA sequencing of infected human bronchial epithelial cultures reports ciliated cells as a major target, with tropism later widening to basal and club cells.
