Suppression of Calcium Influx Reduces Coxsackievirus B3 Lethality With Elevated Interferon Beta Responses in Mice

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The disease course of severe enterovirus (EV) infection with hepatic necrosis is usually fulminant and fatal. Coxsackievirus (CVB3) is the emerging and important serotype of newborn EV inducing hepatic necrosis. Calcium (Ca2+) regulates host immunity, type I interferon (IFN‐I), and viral infections.

Arenavirus Glycan Shield Promotes Neutralizing Antibody Evasion and Protracted Infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Arenaviruses such as Lassa virus (LASV) can cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. As a major impediment to vaccine development, delayed and weak neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses represent a unifying characteristic of both natural infection and ...

Extending the Targets for Coronavirus Antivirals Beyond That of Approved Drugs: Insights From Preclinical Research

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Chemical structure of RIBOTAC inhibitor with metabolic handle binding as nucleotide analogue to SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA dependent RNA polymerase, its linker and the RNase L recruiter which binds RNase L monomers and mediates their dimerization that actives nuclease activity degrading the viral RNA.

A multivalent and cross-protective vaccine strategy against arenaviruses associated with human disease.

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Arenaviruses are the causative pathogens of severe hemorrhagic fever and aseptic meningitis in humans, for which no licensed vaccines are currently available. Pathogen heterogeneity within the Arenaviridae family poses a significant challenge for vaccine

Genetic detection and characterization of Lujo virus, a new hemorrhagic fever-associated arenavirus from southern Africa. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Lujo virus (LUJV), a new member of the family Arenaviridae and the first hemorrhagic fever-associated arenavirus from the Old World discovered in three decades, was isolated in South Africa during an outbreak of human disease characterized by nosocomial ...

AP‐1‐Targeting Decoy Oligonucleotides: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential as Modulators of Inflammatory Pathways

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerous cellular functions, such as apoptosis, proliferation, differentiation, survival, transformation and cell migration, are regulated by a crucial transcription factor called activator protein 1 (AP‐1). Growing evidence indicates that AP‐1 is involved in severe conditions like fibrosis, cancer, and organ damage, as well as inflammatory ...

Arenavirus Quasispecies and Their Biological Implications [PDF]

, 2015
The family Arenaviridae currently comprises over 20 viral species, each of them associated with a main rodent species as the natural reservoir and in one case possibly phyllostomid bats. Moreover, recent findings have documented a divergent group of arenaviruses in captive alethinophidian snakes.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 26, 30 March 2026.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...
