Great talks and discussions at the III Congress of the Virology Master at @uv.es
Congrats to all the students, who have wonderfully organized organized this fantastic meeting!

Multiple independent acquisitions of ACE2 usage in MERS-related coronaviruses Two coronaviruses related to MERS-CoV, which infect European Pipistrellus bats, have been found to use ACE2 as their receptor. These viruses target an ACE2 surface region distant from those recognized...

Setmana intensa aprenent molt, hui amb Luis Serrano @prbb.org flamant premi Jaume I de noves tecnologies i la seua aventura en biologia de sistemes i sintètica. Aviat ho podreu comprovar al canal youtube de @ccbiologiquesuv.bsky.social

Phylogenetic map of wildlife trade; graphs showing overlap with other traits like synanthropy; path analysis showing impact on zoonotic host status

Huge analysis out as a preprint today! For every 9 years an animal spends in the wildlife trade, it shares an additional pathogen with humans. Clear long-term impacts based on 40 years of global trade data 🧪😷 biorxiv.org/content/earl...

Receptor-binding proteins from animal viruses are broadly compatible with human cell entry factors - Nature Microbiology Functional systematic pseudotype virus-based analysis of the ability of diverse animal viruses to enter into a panel of well-characterized human cell lines shows a broad compatibility between animal virus receptor-binding proteins and human cell entry factors.

Delighted to share with you our study published in Nature Microbiology. We studied the ability of the receptor-binding proteins (RBP) of >100 animal viruses to mediate entry into human cells.

Dipeptidase 1 is a functional receptor for coronavirus PHEV Coronaviruses of the subgenus Embecovirus include several relevant pathogens such as the human seasonal coronaviruses HKU1 and OC43, bovine coronavirus, and porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis ...

I am thrilled to share our last preprint where we identify and characterize a new coronavirus receptor! This work was done in collaboration with the team of Félix Rey at the Institut Pasteur.
