This study identifies a virulence mechanism in low pathogenic avian influenza viruses where neuraminidase recruits plasminogen to cleave hemagglutinin, enhancing pathogenicity.

This study reinstates RIG-I and RNF135 in chickens to investigate their role in avian influenza response, finding that their expression exacerbates inflammation and mortality without affecting viral replication.

This study compares innate immune responses in 2D and 3D chicken enteroids infected with Salmonella Typhimurium, showing that 3D models better mimic in vivo responses due to the presence of lamina propria cells.
