Network controllability analysis reveals the antiviral potential of Etravirine against Hepatitis E Virus infection

This study identifies CK1ε as an antiviral target for HEV and shows that Etravirine, an HIV drug, inhibits CK1ε to exhibit antiviral activity against HEV.

Human endogenous retrovirus-R envelope is a host restriction factor against severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2

The paper identifies HERV-R envelope as a host restriction factor that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication through ERK and p38 MAPK signaling.

RNA-protein interactome at the Hepatitis E virus internal ribosome entry site

This study identifies the RNA-protein interactome of the Hepatitis E virus IRESl element and confirms its function as a bona fide internal ribosome entry site.

Dietary αKG inhibits SARS CoV-2 infection and rescues inflamed lungs to restore normal O2 saturation in animals

This study shows dietary αKG inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduces lung inflammation and thrombosis in animals, restoring oxygen saturation.

Effect of prophylactic use of intra-nasal oil formulations in the hamster model of Covid-19

The paper evaluates two intra-nasal oil formulations in a hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, finding that Anu oil reduces viral load, body weight loss, and lung pathology compared to the control.

RNA-protein interaction analysis of SARS-CoV-2 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions identifies an antiviral role of lysosome-associated membrane protein-2

This study identifies host proteins interacting with SARS-CoV-2 5' and 3' UTRs, revealing Lamp2a's antiviral role by reducing viral RNA levels.
