Identification of (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 compound
We established a noninfectious BAC‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 replicon that enables antiviral screening under BSL‐2 conditions. Using this platform, we screened 373 food‐derived compounds and identified (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel inhibitor of SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA replication, highlighting the value of safe replicon systems for antiviral ...

Artificial Small RNA-Based Silencing Tools for Antiviral Resistance in Plants
Artificial small RNAs (art-sRNAs), such as artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) and synthetic trans-acting small interfering RNAs (syn-tasiRNAs), are highly specific 21-nucleotide small RNAs designed to recognize and silence complementary target RNAs.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Recombinant human interferon-omega (rhIFN-omega) exhibits a potent antiviral activity. Because of poor pharmacokinetics (PK) of rhIEN-omega, frequent dosing of rhIFN-omega is necessitated to achieve the sustained antiviral efficacy.

Type I interferons modulate autophagy to shape gemcitabine response in pancreatic cancer cells
Type I interferons differentially modulate autophagy and the response of pancreatic cancer cells to gemcitabine. IFNα2b stimulates autophagic flux and protects cells from gemcitabine‐induced cell death, contributing to chemoresistance. In contrast, IFNβ1a inhibits autophagosome formation and enhances gemcitabine‐induced cell death, resulting in ...

Activation of PKR by Bunyamwera virus is independent of the viral interferon antagonist NSs [PDF]
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a by-product of viral RNA polymerase activity, and its recognition is one mechanism by which the innate immune system is activated.

Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase homologs participate in Nicotiana benthamiana antiviral responses
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) serve as the first line of defense against reactive oxygen species. Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) is an enzyme whose activity depends on copper availability. Cu/Zn-SOD-1 induction is shown to be involved in the
