SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 modulates the upper respiratory tract inflammatory response to facilitate transmission

Grace O. Ciabattoni, Stacey Bartlett, Marisa E. McGrath…·Mila Brum Ortigoza

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 enhances upper respiratory tract inflammation and virus shedding, promoting transmission by modulating type-I interferon signaling.

IFNγ-Driven Inflammatory Responses in the Nasal Mucosa Drive Influenza Virus Shedding and Transmission

Stacey Bartlett, Hedy L. Rocha, Leon L. Hsieh…·Mila Brum Ortigoza

This study shows that IFNγ-driven inflammation in the nasal mucosa increases influenza virus shedding and transmission, linking infectiousness to host immune responses rather than viral replication alone.
