This paper introduces an Oxford Nanopore sequencing framework for hantavirus genome assembly and variant analysis, revealing defective viral genomes as a new feature of hantavirus populations.

The paper identifies 70 antiviral compounds against Puumala Orthohantavirus through a drug repurposing screen in human cell lines.

The paper identifies differences in innate immune responses to New World and Old World arenaviruses, linking small non-standard viral RNAs to immune activation.

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 and HSV-1 induce amyloid aggregation of proteins in human CSF, leading to soluble protein depletion, suggesting a potential mechanism linking viral infections to neurodegenerative diseases.

This paper shows that clinical-grade soluble ACE2 effectively inhibits multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants, including VOCs, in cell cultures and across independent labs.

The paper shows clinical grade recombinant ACE2 effectively neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 Omicron in VeroE6 cells, outperforming neutralization against reference isolates.
