This study shows angiotensin IV enhances SARS-CoV-2 entry at low concentrations but inhibits it at higher concentrations, suggesting a dual role in viral infection.

The paper uses scRNA-seq to show that monocyte IL1B expression inversely correlates with HIV-1 reservoir size in ART-treated individuals.

This study compares HIV-1 virion maturation and infectivity between Jurkat and HEK293T cells using a FRET-based assay, finding lower maturation and infectivity in Jurkat-derived virions.
