This study shows that gut-derived ammonia modulates hypothalamic stress responses during viral infection by increasing corticosterone levels and affecting antiviral responses.

The paper reprocesses SARS-CoV-2 genomic data to correct systematic errors in phylogenies using a novel assembly tool, resulting in a cleaner global tree of 4.47 million samples.

This study shows CD8+ T cells drive energy substrate redistribution between lymphoid organs and the heart during viral infection, with metabolic adaptations affecting cardiac function.

The paper shows that false viral sequence clusters can lead to incorrect phylodynamic parameter estimates, such as underestimating population size and overestimating growth rates.
