This paper describes a trimeric inhibitor, S22, that stabilizes the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a closed conformation, preventing ACE2 binding and viral entry.

This study identifies SCARF2 as an intracellular receptor for HBV, showing it facilitates viral transport to the nucleus by binding preS1 and interacting with nuclear pore complexes.

The paper identifies variation in virion phosphatidylserine content as the reason for differential GAS6 binding among flaviviruses, explaining ZIKV's unique ability to use AXL for entry.

This study compares the functional differences between human, rhesus, and mouse TIM1 proteins, showing that human TIM1's ability to bind phosphatidylethanolamine enhances viral uptake and efferocytosis compared to its orthologs.
