Electronic Cigarette Exposure Disrupts Airway Epithelial Barrier Function and Exacerbates Viral Infection
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.1152/ajplung.00135.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs), especially among teenagers, has reached alarming and epidemic levels, posing a significant threat to public health.

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1897: Genotype and Phenotype Characterization of Rhinolophus sp. Sarbecoviruses from Vietnam: Implications for Coronavirus Emergence
r Vu Dinh Thong Sylvie van der Werf Vu Sinh Nam Marc Eloit Bats are a major reservoir of zoonotic viruses, including coronaviruses. Since the emergence of SARS-CoV in 2002/2003 in Asia, important efforts have been made to describe the diversity of Coronaviridae circulating in bats worldwide, leading to the discovery of the precursors of epidemic and pandemic sarbecoviruses in horseshoe bats. We investigated the viral communities infecting horseshoe bats living in Northern Vietnam, and report here the first identification of sarbecoviruses in Rhinolophus thomasi and Rhinolophus siamensis bats. Phylogenetic chara...
