This paper introduces Titra, an end-to-end deep learning workflow for automated virus titration from plaque assay images, achieving high accuracy in plaque counting and PFU/mL estimation.

This study shows that natural variation in HCV IRES affects translation efficiency through epistasis and population-level effects, challenging reliance on dominant sequences.

This study investigates the dual role of IFNγ in coronavirus infection, showing it limits systemic viral spread but increases brain vulnerability, suggesting potential therapeutic modulation.

This study uses a murine model to track Mayaro virus dissemination and tissue tropism, showing gestational stage affects fetal infection and suggests non-vector transmission routes.

This study shows plitidepsin, a marine-derived anticancer drug, has broad-spectrum antiviral activity against multiple viruses including arboviruses and DNA/RNA viruses.

This paper evaluates SYBR Green real-time PCR for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples, finding it to be a reliable and cost-effective alternative to Taqman-based methods.
