This study shows that the mammalian-adaptive PB2-E627K mutation in H5N1 HPAIV maintains viral fitness in avian hosts, increasing zoonotic risk.

This study shows pigeons are not easily infected by H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus and cannot transmit it to other birds or chickens.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 S, M, and E proteins reduce HIV-1 LTR activity and modulate ER stress by down-regulating NF-κB, while N protein does not.
