Meta‐Analysis of COVID‐19 Cluster Events Suggestive of Long‐Distance Airborne Transmission/Inhalation

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Comparison across infection settings suggests a potential link between activities involving deep breathing and the clinical course of COVID‐19. Activities involving vigorous respiration may contribute to shorter incubation periods and higher disease severity, potentially reflecting increased viral inoculum at exposure.

Ensemble Docking of FDA‐Approved and Peruvian Phytochemicals Against Monkeypox Virus Telomere‐Binding Protein

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 9, 5 March 2026.
ABSTRACT Monkeypox is a reemerging zoonotic disease that has been spreading worldwide. Different approaches are being conducted to find effective treatments for this disease. To accelerate therapeutic discovery, we propose telomere‐binding protein (TBP) as a potential drug target because of its important role during virus maturation.
