This study identifies the cellular receptors and factors that determine parvovirus B19 infection in human placental trophoblasts, showing that VP1uR, globoside, and proliferative activity are key, while EpoR signaling is not required.

This study uses cryo-electron tomography to compare replication structures of African and Asian Zika virus lineages, revealing lineage-specific ultrastructural features linked to congenital disease potential.

This study identifies 131 CNV signals associated with 47 complex traits in the UK Biobank, revealing new gene functions and linking CNVs to decreased longevity and health outcomes.
