This study identifies PLSCR1 as a host restriction factor that inhibits HIV-1 and related viruses by blocking membrane fusion during entry, independent of interferon signaling.

This study investigates respiratory IgA responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection, vaccination, or hybrid immunity, showing that mucosal booster vaccination enhances IgA and protective immunity.

This study identifies ZIKV proteins that downregulate AXL and TIM-1 via autophagy, enhancing viral replication and spread by preventing superinfection and dampening innate immunity.

This study examines how glycosylation mutations in the NTD of the SARS-CoV-2 XEC variant affect neutralizing antibody responses, cell-cell fusion, and spike stability.

This study evaluates neutralization, infectivity, and stability of JN.1-derived SARS-CoV-2 subvariants, finding that DelS31 mutation in the NTD reduces nAb titers, impairs infectivity, and increases spike stability.

This study evaluates neutralization resistance, infectivity, and membrane fusion of JN.1-derived SARS-CoV-2 subvariants SLip, FLiRT, and KP.2, identifying key mutations affecting antibody sensitivity and spike function.

This study compares immune evasion, antigenicity, and cell-cell fusion properties of SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.87.1 and JN.1 variants, finding BA.2.87.1 shows less neutralization escape and higher infectivity than JN.1 and XBB.1.5.
