A Cluster of Acidic Residues in the Cytoplasmic Domain of SARS-CoV-2 Spike is Required for Virion-Incorporation and Infectivity

Charlotte A. Stoneham, Rajendra Singh, Amalia De Leon…·John Guatelli

This study identifies an acidic cluster motif in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein's cytoplasmic domain essential for virion incorporation and infectivity.

Measles vaccine attenuation comprises innate immune cell infection and interferon responses

Felix G M Andres, Sebastian Parusel, Oliver Siering…·Christian Karl Pfaller

This study identifies that measles vaccine attenuation involves enhanced infection of innate immune cells and strong interferon responses that limit viral replication.

Electromagnetic waves destabilize the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and reduce SARS-CoV-2 Virus-Like Particle (SC2-VLP) infectivity

Christina Pantoja, Francisco M. Acosta, Skyler Granatir…·Peter W. Ramirez

The paper shows electromagnetic waves at 2.5-3.5 GHz reduce SARS-CoV-2 VLP infectivity by altering Spike protein conformation.
