This study compares viral replication and host responses in airway epithelial cells to distinguish pathogenic from seasonal coronaviruses, finding HCoV-229E induces severe epithelial injury despite limited replication.

The paper analyzes the antigenic evolution of influenza B virus hemagglutinin over 8 decades, identifying epistatic networks that balance antigenic novelty with viral fitness.

This study isolates and characterizes contemporary seasonal human coronaviruses, showing differences in cell tropism and growth compared to lab-adapted strains.
