This study shows hypoxia induces HIF2-dependent cell cycle entry in macrophages, leading to increased susceptibility to lentiviral transduction and is observed in tumor-associated macrophages.

This study shows bromhexine hydrochloride inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro by targeting TMPRSS2, reducing viral entry and progeny without direct virucidal activity.

This study investigates the immune escape, infectivity, and cell-cell fusion properties of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 compared to Delta, showing higher ACE2 affinity and antibody evasion but similar antiviral drug efficacy.

This study evaluates the replication, antibody sensitivity, and vaccine efficacy of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 Delta variant compared to other variants and vaccine-elicited immunity.

This study identifies changes in the proteome of gut-derived extracellular vesicles in prediabetic mice, showing altered protein packaging that may transmit metabolic signals to other tissues.

This paper identifies a recurrent SARS-CoV-2 Spike deletion (H69/V70) that increases infectivity and compensates for RBD mutations, suggesting it may facilitate immune escape and variant emergence.
