This study identifies Aminopeptidase N as the receptor for hedgehog merbecoviruses and shows restricted cross-species receptor use.

This study identifies structural and phenotypic changes in the RBD loop2 region of HKU5r-CoVs as key factors enabling their emergence in mink and potential zoonotic transmission.

The paper identifies ACE2 as a receptor for HKU5 coronaviruses from Pipistrellus abramus bats and investigates receptor tropism across merbecovirus clades.

This study profiles the dynamic lytic transcriptome of BoHV-1 using long-read sequencing and assesses its impact on the host cell transcriptome, revealing complex transcriptional overlaps and upregulated antiviral and viral genes.
