The paper identifies hedgehog APN as a receptor for EriCoVs and shows convergent evolution in its utilization among merbecoviruses.

This study identifies a signaling relay system involving maternal vGluT2 and embryonic mGluR3 that controls offspring wing dimorphism in pea aphids through transgenerational phenotypic plasticity.

The paper shows that HKU25 clade MERS-related coronaviruses use ACE2 as a receptor, challenging prior beliefs that DPP4 was their main receptor.

The paper identifies REPTOR2 as a gene that modulates autophagic degradation of the wing disc in pea aphids, linking it to TOR signaling and wing dimorphism.
