This study shows that C1q enhances anti-hemagglutinin stem antibody neutralization by blocking viral attachment and expanding the viral escape repertoire.

This study shows Omicron SARS-CoV-2 has higher infectivity and interferon resistance in human nasal tissue compared to Delta, due to changes in Spike protein entry mechanisms.

The paper measures protein synthesis rates in lymphocytes and finds that their in vivo elongation rates increase with activation, despite a high protein-to-ribosome ratio suggesting insufficient capacity for rapid division.

The paper validates in vitro human lung tissue models for studying SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus infections and antiviral treatments.

This study shows that influenza A virus negative strand RNA can be translated into proteins recognized by CD8+ T cells, challenging the notion that viral negative strands are non-coding.
