Disruption of Spike Priming in Virus Entry: Tetrandrine as a Pan‐Coronavirus Inhibitor
Tetrandrine inhibits the infection of HCoV‐OC43, HCoV‐229E, SARS‐CoV‐2, and its major variants by blocking virus entry. Specifically, tetrandrine breaks the interaction between TMPRSS2 and Spike, therefore suppress its priming and the following membrane fusion, and induces Spike to degradation.

The ebolavirus VP24 interferon antagonist [PDF]
Suppression during the early phases of the immune system often correlates directly with a fatal outcome for the host. The ebolaviruses, some of the most lethal viruses known, appear to cripple initial stages of the host defense network via multiple distinct paths. Two of the eight viral proteins are critical for immunosuppression. One of these proteins

Induction of ebolavirus cross-species immunity using retrovirus-like particles bearing the Ebola virus glycoprotein lacking the mucin-like domain [PDF]
Background The genus Ebolavirus includes five distinct viruses. Four of these viruses cause hemorrhagic fever in humans. Currently there are no licensed vaccines for any of them; however, several vaccines are under development.

Mapping the Potential Risk of Coronavirus Spillovers in a Global Hotspot
Bats host a vast array of viruses, including those behind SARS and COVID‐19. This study maps coronavirus spillover risk hotspots across South and Southeast Asia by combining horseshoe bat species distributions, forest fragmentation, and human population density.

Rapid Sequence Identification of Potential Pathogens Using Techniques from Sparse Linear Algebra
The decreasing costs and increasing speed and accuracy of DNA sample collection, preparation, and sequencing has rapidly produced an enormous volume of genetic data. However, fast and accurate analysis of the samples remains a bottleneck. Here we present
