This study identifies ACE2 as a proviral host factor and TMPRSS2 as a restrictive factor for IBV BD infection in chicken cells.

This study shows HSV infection increases ALS risk and promotes TDP-43 pathology through ICP0-mediated disruption of PML bodies.

This study investigates VZV gene repression in neuronal cells, finding that histone deposition is absent at quiescent viral genomes.

The paper provides proteome-wide structure predictions for all human herpesviruses and identifies new protein families and potential functions through structural analysis.

This study shows that γδ T cells restrict Marek's disease virus replication and tumor formation in chickens by reducing viral load in key lymphoid organs.

This paper generates Cas9-expressing transgenic chickens and pigs for in vivo genome editing, demonstrating their health, fertility, and functionality across multiple tissues and genes.

This study shows HHV-6A/B infections increase telomeric signals and recruit TRF2 to viral telomeres, suggesting a role for shelterin proteins in viral integration.
