MERS-CoV: Bridging the Knowledge Gaps
Since its emergence in September 2012 and as of 30 April 2014, there have been 424 cases of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) reported to public health authorities worldwide (15 countries). This tally includes 95 healthcare workers (22%) and 131 deaths (mortality rate of 31%).1 To date, only two laboratory confirmed cases have

ProTides for Antiviral Activity Beyond Liver Cells
A strategy for obtaining prodrugs of antiviral nucleotides with broad tissue activity is presented that relies on cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl esters, improving uptake and esterase cleavage, and producing nanomolar inhibitors in kidney, colon, and lung cells.

Broadly Protective Antibody‐Like Vaccines Against Highly Pathogenic Coronaviruses
ABSTRACT SARS‐CoV‐2 and MERS‐CoV are highly pathogenic and contagious coronaviruses. Despite intensive vaccination, SARS‐CoV‐2 continues to spread, and no FDA‐approved vaccines exist for MERS‐CoV; thus, more effective and safer vaccine options are needed. The receptor‐binding domain (RBD) of coronaviruses is a primary target of neutralizing antibodies (

MERS-CoV infection fails to activate the stress response pathway.
(A) Immune fluorescence images of mock-treated an MERS-CoV infected Vero cells. Cells were infected with an MOI of 1 and fixed using 3% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 10h or 24h post infection.

Domestic Pig Unlikely Reservoir for MERS-CoV [PDF]
We tested the suitability of the domestic pig as a model for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. Inoculation did not cause disease, but a low level of virus replication, shedding, and seroconversion were observed. Pigs do not recapitulate human MERS-CoV and are unlikely to constitute a reservoir in nature.

Griffithsin, Brevinin‐2, and CCL20 were identified as potent MERS‐CoV fusion inhibitor candidates targeting the HR2 domain through integrated molecular docking, MD simulations, and MM/PBSA analyses. These peptides demonstrated superior binding stability and favorable safety profiles compared to the standard inhibitor, supporting their potential as ...

Organoids: From Bench to Bedside Applications
Organoids, as a groundbreaking biomedical research platform, utilize adult stem cells (ASCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as sources. By integrating specific growth and differentiation signals within an extracellular matrix (e.g., Matrigel), organoids guide cells to self‐assemble into three‐dimensional ...
