The paper investigates how mutations in EV-D68's VP1 and VP3 proteins affect neurotropism in human spinal cord organoids and links these findings to reduced neurovirulence observed after 2018.

This study develops a method to rescue B3 clade EV-D68 strains and shows they replicate more efficiently in spinal cord organoids than a neurovirulent B2 clade strain.

This study shows that immune cell infiltration into the spinal cord promotes paralysis in mice infected with EV-D68, suggesting immune cell targeting as a therapeutic strategy.

The paper assesses the pandemic risk of swine H1N2 influenza viruses by analyzing their transmission potential and immune response in ferrets.
