Identification and Optimization of a Truncated Hs‐1‐Derived Antimicrobial Peptide for Enhanced Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Activity

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Can a shorter peptide be a better antiviral? Structure‐guided optimization of the amphibian peptide Hs‐1 reveals a minimal α‐helical core that, after terminal modification, displays enhanced stability and submicromolar broad‐spectrum activity against enveloped viruses while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent

Marburg Virus Glycoprotein Is a Remarkable Virulent Factor Linked to Hemorrhagic Pathology: Evidence from Multimodal Experimental Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
By integrating data from in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, our research identifies the MARV glycoprotein as a remarkable hemorrhagic factor, filling a major gap in this important field. It also provides practical experimental tools for the basic research on viral pathogenesis and applied research aimed at antiviral intervention for hemorrhagic ...

Identity and validity of conserved B cell epitopes of filovirus glycoprotein: towards rapid diagnostic testing for Ebola and possibly Marburg virus disease

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus are genera of the virus family Filoviridae. Filoviruses cause rare but fatal viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) in remote villages of equatorial Africa with potential for regional and international spread.

Characterization of the Filovirus-Resistant Cell Line SH-SY5Y Reveals Redundant Role of Cell Surface Entry Factors

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Filoviruses infect a wide range of cell types with the exception of lymphocytes. The intracellular proteins cathepsin B and L, two-pore channel 1 and 2, and bona fide receptor Niemann–Pick Disease C1 (NPC1) are essential for the endosomal phase of ...

Niemann-Pick C1 Heterogeneity of Bat Cells Controls Filovirus Tropism

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Fruit bats are suspected to be natural hosts of filoviruses, including Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV). Interestingly, however, previous studies suggest that these viruses have different tropisms depending on the bat species.

Carbohydrate‐Based Drug Discovery: Synthetic Strategies and Clinical Applications

open access: yesIsrael Journal of Chemistry, Volume 66, Issue 3, May 2026.
The picture depicts the molecules discussed in the review. On the left side, the general scaffold of sugars is shown. Next to it are four carbohydrate‐based molecules, including remdesivir, islatravir, empagliflozin, and Globo‐H. Remdesivir and islatravir contain a substituted ribose ring attached to a modified nucleobase.

Filovirus VP24 Proteins Differentially Regulate RIG-I and MDA5-Dependent Type I and III Interferon Promoter Activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Filovirus family consists of highly pathogenic viruses that have caused fatal outbreaks especially in many African countries. Previously, research focus has been on Ebola, Sudan and Marburg viruses leaving other filoviruses less well studied. Filoviruses,

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

open access: yesMicrobial 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.

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.
