This study identifies ZDHHC17-mediated palmitoylation of HEV ORF3 protein as critical for directional secretion in polarized epithelial cells.

This study identifies bemnifosbuvir as a potent inhibitor of hepatitis E virus replication in vitro and in a gerbil model, with additive effects when combined with ribavirin.

This study identifies integrin beta 1 as a cofactor for naked hepatitis E virus entry, revealing distinct endocytic pathways for naked and enveloped HEV particles.

This study shows that hepatocyte-like cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells are permissive to hepatitis D virus infection and can be used to study HDV biology and test therapies.
