This study shows that gut microbe-derived short-chain fatty acids reduce joint inflammation after alphavirus infection by modulating immune cell activity.

The paper shows ATG-3 limits Orsay virus infection in C. elegans by regulating collagen pathways, independent of autophagic flux.

This study identifies SLC35A2 as a host factor essential for paramyxovirus fusion during infection, showing its role in virus-cell and cell-to-cell fusion events.

This study identifies FcRn and DPP4 as human astrovirus receptors and shows that targeting these factors with existing inhibitors prevents infection in human enteroid cultures.
