This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 maturation involves N protein-vgRNA condensates that are selectively enveloped by membranes due to RNA-dependent material properties.

This study generates and characterizes bat cell lines from Carollia perspicillata to study viral susceptibility and innate immune responses, showing their utility for virological research.

This study compares SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV infection dynamics and antiviral responses in primary lung organoid-derived monolayers and air-liquid interface cultures, finding that ALI cultures better capture viral infection and immune responses.

The paper identifies four Neanderthal introgressed alleles on chromosome 3 that may modulate the regulation of CCR1 and CCR5, contributing to severe COVID-19 risk.

This paper identifies intronic regulatory elements of ACE2 that respond to immune signaling and oxidative stress, influencing ACE2 expression and viral susceptibility.

The paper identifies ACE2 as the only common host dependency for SARS-CoV-2 across multiple cell lines, while other host factors are cell line specific.
