This study identifies Aminopeptidase N as the receptor for hedgehog merbecoviruses and shows restricted cross-species receptor use.

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 with impaired nsp14-exonuclease activity has reduced replication, fitness, and pathogenesis, but remains viable in some conditions.

This study isolates and characterizes neutralizing antibodies against HCoV-229E, showing one antibody induces conformational changes in the viral spike protein.

The paper identifies ACE2 as a receptor for HKU5 coronaviruses from Pipistrellus abramus bats and investigates receptor tropism across merbecovirus clades.

This study identifies bat and mink ACE2 as receptors for HKU5 merbecovirus, revealing distinct receptor interactions and highlighting mustelids as potential intermediate hosts.
