Viral fossils in marsupial genomes: secret cellular guardians [PDF]
Genomic viral integrations, termed endogenous viral elements (EVEs), are fragments of viruses in host chromosomes that provide information about viral evolution and could even help protect the host from infection. In the present study we examined EVEs in

Statins Suppress Ebola Virus Infectivity by Interfering with Glycoprotein Processing
Ebola virus (EBOV) infection is a major public health concern due to high fatality rates and limited effective treatments. Statins, widely used cholesterol-lowering drugs, have pleiotropic mechanisms of action and were suggested as potential adjunct ...

Phosphatidylethanolamine: A key player in lung disease
Implication of PE in the aetiology of diverse diseases. The pivotal role of PE in driving lipid peroxidation during ferroptosis. Implications of PE metabolic dysregulation in pulmonary epithelial cells. Abstract Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a pivotal glycerophospholipid that constitutes a significant portion of cellular membranes, playing a crucial

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

A comprehensive overview on the crosstalk between microRNAs and viral pathogenesis and infection
Abstract Infections caused by viruses as the smallest infectious agents, pose a major threat to global public health. Viral infections utilize different host mechanisms to facilitate their own propagation and pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as small noncoding RNA molecules, play important regulatory roles in different diseases, including viral ...
