Targeting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Spike Fusion Machinery With Antiviral Peptides: In Silico Exploration of the Heptad Repeat 2 Domain

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
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 ...

Interaction of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) spike glycoprotein with receptor glycoprotein MHVR is required for infection with an MHV strain that expresses the hemagglutinin-esterase glycoprotein

, 1995
In addition to the spike (S) glycoprotein that binds to carcinoembryonic antigen-related receptors on the host cell membrane, some strains of mouse coronavirus (mouse hepatitis virus [MHV]) express a hemagglutinin esterase (HE) glycoprotein with ...

Spermidine Mitigates Immune Cell Senescence and Boosts Vaccine Responses in Healthy Older Adults—A Pilot Study

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Can we boost vaccine responses in older adults? In a double‐blind, randomised, placebo‐controlled pilot study (n = 40, > 65 years), spermidine supplementation (6 mg/day, 13 weeks) was safe and significantly improved immune responses following a 3rd SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccine dose.

Lifestyle Intervention During Pregnancy Is Associated With Favourable Changes of Vitronectin in Women With Obesity: Results From the Randomised LiP Trial

Clinical Obesity, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Obesity in pregnancy is a well‐established risk factor for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to examine the effects of lifestyle intervention during pregnancy on the cardio‐metabolic protein profile and its association with maternal and neonatal health.
