Please see this fantastic thread by @lisabauervirus.bsky.social about our recent preprint on the glycan binding properties of enteroviruses. It was great working with her team at @erasmusmc.bsky.social and, with @debbyvanriel.bsky.social, as we started this project some years ago. #glycotime

We have a new preprint on the receptor specificity of 2.3.4.4 H5 viruses. We introduced the hallmark Q226L mutation in several antigenic backgrounds and observed different phenotypes. #H5N1 #glycotime www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

1/ Our recent publication is online. We show that a clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus attaches to, and replicates more efficiently in human respiratory epithelium than a clade 2.3.2.1 H5N1 virus that circulated in 2005. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A new preprint is online! Ruonan Liang made a major effort to decipher how the most recent human H3N2 viruses evolved to bind "simpler" glycans compared to isolates before 2020. #glycotime www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
