Bacterial c-di-GMP plays a key role in the evolution of host-association

This study shows that c-di-GMP upregulation enables bacteria to adapt to host-association across diverse species.

Negatively charged peptide nanofibrils from immunoglobulin light chain sequester viral particles but lack cell-binding and viral transduction-enhancing properties

The paper shows that negatively charged peptide nanofibrils from immunoglobulin light chain bind viral particles similarly to positively charged ones but do not enhance retroviral infection.

Cellular Protrusions Engage Viral Infection Enhancing EF-C Peptide Nanofibrils

This study shows that peptide nanofibrils enhance viral infection by being actively engaged by cellular protrusions, not through random binding.

An enzyme-based immunodetection assay to quantify SARS-CoV-2 infection

This paper introduces an enzyme-based immunodetection assay to quantify SARS-CoV-2 infection by measuring viral spike protein expression in cell cultures.

IFITM proteins promote SARS-CoV-2 infection and are targets for virus inhibition

This study shows that IFITM proteins are required for SARS-CoV-2 infection and can be targeted to inhibit viral entry and replication.

Remdesivir but not famotidine inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal organoids

This study uses human intestinal organoids to show that remdesivir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication, while famotidine does not.
