Abstract

In this issue of Cell, Ganaie et al. reports the identification of LRP1 as a receptor of the highly pathogenic Rift Valley fever virus. By using genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening and functional studies, Ganaie et al. identified LRP1 and several co-factors as essential elements for virus infection.
