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

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 ...

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
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
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.

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