The pulmonary-proteoliposome as a new therapeutic approach for Coronaviruses [PDF]
We are proposing the use of pulmonary-proteoliposome as a new therapeutic approach for Coronaviruses. The designed strategy represents a potential treatment to reduce the overall viral load in the lungs and to help the immune system to successfully stave

Protease inhibitors targeting coronavirus and filovirus entry. [PDF]
In order to gain entry into cells, diverse viruses, including Ebola virus, SARS-coronavirus and the emerging MERS-coronavirus, depend on activation of their envelope glycoproteins by host cell proteases.

Coronaviruses: modern taxonomy and research chronology
The classification of coronaviruses began in 1968 when five viruses (IBV, MHV, B814, 229E, and OC43) were united into an independent group, “coronaviruses”, based on the characteristic morphology of the virions. In 1971, the genus Coronavirus was formed,
