This study shows that A/H3N2 influenza virus evolves differently in independent human airway cultures, with limited parallelism and novel mutations, suggesting evolutionary paths are influenced by selective context rather than intrinsic constraints.

This study investigates the role of pulmonary vagal sensory neurons in influenza pathogenesis, finding that their ablation or inhibition worsens clinical outcomes but reduces lung pathology.

The paper generates the first chromosome-length annotated genomes and transcriptomes of black and mute swans, revealing immune system limitations and plumage-related genetic differences.
