Lipids at the interface of virus–host interactions [PDF]
Viruses physically and metabolically remodel the host cell to establish an optimal environment for their replication. Many of these processes involve the manipulation of lipid signaling, synthesis, and metabolism. An emerging theme is that these lipid-modifying pathways are also linked to innate antiviral responses and can be modulated to inhibit viral

ITN—VIROINF: Understanding (Harmful) Virus-Host Interactions by Linking Virology and Bioinformatics
Many recent studies highlight the fundamental importance of viruses. Besides their important role as human and animal pathogens, their beneficial, commensal or harmful functions are poorly understood.

Water-SARS-CoV-2 Interaction-Based Mechanism Inhibiting Virus Attachment to Host Cells [PDF]
Many studies showed that the enveloped viruses, including coronaviruses, HIV-1, and influenza inactivate significantly faster in water than the non-enveloped viruses. It looks that there is a certain mechanism controlling this phenomenon.

Regulatory Role of Host MicroRNAs in Flaviviruses Infection
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA that affect mRNA abundance or translation efficiency by binding to the 3′UTR of the mRNA of the target gene, thereby participating in multiple biological processes, including viral infection.

Macrophage Polarization in Virus-Host Interactions [PDF]
Macrophage involvement in viral infections and antiviral states is common. However, this involvement has not been well-studied in the paradigm of macrophage polarization, which typically has been categorized by the dichotomy of classical (M1) and alternative (M2) statuses.

The splicing factor proline-glutamine rich (SFPQ/PSF) is involved in influenza virus transcription. [PDF]
The influenza A virus RNA polymerase is a heterotrimeric complex responsible for viral genome transcription and replication in the nucleus of infected cells. We recently carried out a proteomic analysis of purified polymerase expressed in human cells and

Human annexin A6 interacts with influenza A virus protein M2 and negatively modulates infection [PDF]
The influenza A virus M2 ion channel protein has the longest cytoplasmic tail (CT) among the three viral envelope proteins and is well conserved between different viral strains.

Host–Virus Interaction: How Host Cells Defend against Influenza A Virus Infection
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are highly contagious pathogens infecting human and numerous animals. The viruses cause millions of infection cases and thousands of deaths every year, thus making IAVs a continual threat to global health.

Identification and characterization of a novel non-structural protein of bluetongue virus [PDF]
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the causative agent of a major disease of livestock (bluetongue). For over two decades, it has been widely accepted that the 10 segments of the dsRNA genome of BTV encode for 7 structural and 3 non-structural proteins.
