This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 syncytia reduce interferon and antibody effectiveness, explaining the evolution of fusogenic viral variants.

The paper investigates how mutations in SARS-CoV-2 N protein affect RNP formation and stability, finding convergent evolution and enhanced RNP assembly in Omicron variants.

This paper uses advanced microscopy to show that SARS-CoV-2 attaches to and enters cells via heparan sulfate clusters, not ACE2, and that blocking HS binding inhibits viral infection.

This paper describes a method using bacterial fucosidase to produce H antigen-deficient red blood cells for transfusion to individuals with anti-H antibodies.
