  1. P.S.Villar et al. (2026) studied #evolutionary aspects of the #copulatoryorgan in #male #octopuses and describe it as #multifunctional organ that performs two key #functions: the #hectocotylus is a specialized tentacle that delivers #spermatophores into the #female's #mantlecavity. But the authors identified it also as #chemotactile #receptor for #progesterone during #materecognition.

  3. Newfound #bat #virus that uses notorious #receptor poses ‘#spillover#risk, nature.com/articles/d41586-025

    The virus is related to the #pathogen that causes #MERS and capitalizes on the same ‘entry receptor’ used by #SARS-CoV-2.

  4. #Structure of a #zoonotic #H5N1 #hemagglutinin reveals a #receptor-binding site occupied by an auto-glycan, BioRxIV: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    We found that receptor-binding site of this H5N1 hemagglutinin was already occupied by an 2-3-linked sialic acid and that this glycan emanated from asparagine N169 of a neighboring protomer on hemagglutinin itself.

  5. Dual #receptor-binding, #infectivity, and #transmissibility of an emerging #H2N2 low pathogenicity avian #influenza virus

    Source: Nature Communications, AbstractThe 1957 H2N2 influenza pandemic virus has disappeared from humans since 1968, while H2N2 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are still circulating in birds. It is necessary to reveal the recurrence risk and potential cross-species infection of these AIVs from avian to mammals. We find that H2 AIVs circulating in…
