Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes substantial global morbidity, particularly in infants and elderly populations. This review summarizes key viral pathogenesis mechanisms and highlights recent advances in both prophylactic (vaccines, antibodies) and therapeutic (antiviral agents) strategies against RSV.

Lipopeptides as anti-infectives: a practical perspective
AbstractLipopeptide antibiotics represent an old class of antibiotics that were discovered over 50 years ago, which includes the old polymyxins but also new entries, such as the recently approved daptomycin. They generally consist of a hydrophilic cyclic peptide portion attached to a fatty acid chain which facilitates insertion into the lipid bilayer ...

Hijacking the Electron Train: Menaquinone‐Binding Antimicrobial Peptides
Menaquinone is an emerging target for antimicrobial peptides. Could it be the new Achilles’ Heel of bacteria? The rise of antibiotic resistance threatens to undermine modern medicine, making the development of new antibiotics and novel targets an urgent priority.

Role of Toll-like receptors in development of postpartum endometritis [PDF]
The aim of the study was to establish the association between expression of TLR1 (ligands - triacyl lipopeptides), TLR2 (ligands - lipopeptides, lipoteichoic acid, zymosan), and TLR 5 (ligand - flagellin) of cervical epithelial cells in vivo and ...

Biosynthesis, chemical structure, and structure-activity relationship of orfamide lipopeptides produced by Pseudomonas protegens and related species [PDF]
Orfamide type cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas and involved in lysis of oomycete zoospores, biocontrol of Rhizoctonia and insecticidal activity against aphids.

SLIPT‐PM enables the translocation of tag‐fused proteins from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane using a synthetic self‐localizing ligand. This user‐friendly system permits reversible control of diverse signaling pathways. This concept article highlights the key features and current applications of SLIPT‐PM as a powerful tool in chemical and ...

Adjuvant lipopeptide interaction with model membranes
The cationic lipohexapeptide Pam3Cys-Ser-(Lys)4 is a synthetic model for the triacylated N-terminal part of bacterial lipoproteins, and it is used as an adjuvant and macrophage activator. The amphiphilic lipopeptide was injected below a phosphatidylserine monolayer at the air-water interface.

This review highlights recent progress in nanocarriers targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll‐like and NOD‐like receptors, for enhancing the treatment of bacterial sepsis and related complications. These nanomedicines deliver antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents while modulating immune responses.
