The human-infection potential of emerging tick-borne viruses is a global public health concern

Hong Zhou et al.

Summary: Although many tick-borne viruses are thought to be nonpathogenic to humans, recent discoveries have identified several emerging tick-borne viruses with the potential to infect humans, and more are yet to be discovered. This calls for increased research efforts to better understand the disease burden and threats these viruses pose to global public health.

Increased flexibility of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-binding site causes resistance to remdesivir

Shiho Torii et al.

Summary: Considering the emergence of the Omicron strain, it is crucial to quickly characterize SARS-CoV-2 mutations. This study used a cutting-edge reverse genetics technique to construct eight reporter-carrying SARS-CoV-2 mutants and investigated their properties. Mathematical modeling and computer simulations were employed to analyze the effects of the mutations and understand the mechanism of resistance. The findings provide insights into developing antiviral measures against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Clinical effectiveness of baloxavir marboxil against influenza in three seasons

Fujio Kakuya et al.

Summary: This study compared the duration of fever between baloxavir and oseltamivir treatment for influenza. The results showed that baloxavir treatment resulted in a shorter duration of fever compared to oseltamivir treatment for overall influenza virus, influenza B virus, and influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, but not for influenza A virus and influenza A(H3N2) virus.

Danshensu alleviates pseudo-typed SARS-CoV-2 induced mouse acute lung inflammation

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that Danshensu exhibits potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and can inhibit the entry of the virus into target cells. Both oral and intravenous administration of Danshensu alleviates pathological alterations induced by SARS-CoV-2 in mice, suggesting its potential as a treatment for COVID-19 to inhibit lung inflammation.

Investigation of developmental toxicity of favipiravir on fetal bone and embryonic development

Abdulkadir Bilir et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the developmental toxicity of favipiravir on fetal bone development and embryonic development. The results showed that exposure to favipiravir during pregnancy impairs the ossification rates of fetal extremity bones, as well as the length and weight of the fetuses.

Tanshinone I inhibits doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by regulating Nrf2 signaling pathway

Qianqian Jiang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that Tanshinone I (Tan I) can protect against Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) by reducing oxidative stress and maintaining mitochondrial function. This protective effect is mediated by the activation of the nuclear erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway.

Xiaoxia Huang et al.

Summary: SFTS is an emerging infectious disease in China with a high fatality rate and person-to-person transmission. A study analyzing 13,824 cases found an increasing trend in the number of cases, with varying laboratory-confirmed rates and a concentration in middle-aged and elderly farmers. The disease, mainly sporadic, has expanded spatially over the years and may require updated diagnostic and reporting criteria for better control.

Tanshinone I exerts cardiovascular protective effects in vivo and in vitro through inhibiting necroptosis via Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway

Youqiong Zhuo et al.

Summary: The study showed that Tanshinone I exerted cardiovascular protective effects both in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting RIP1/RIP3/MLKL and activating Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathways. It can alleviate oxidative stress, promote the expression of antioxidant-related proteins, and protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Clinical effect and antiviral mechanism of T-705 in treating severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome

Hao Li et al.

Summary: The study showed that T-705 treatment for SFTS can reduce case fatality rate, especially in patients with low viral loads. The T-705-treated group exhibited faster viral clearance, lower incidence of hemorrhagic signs, and quicker recovery from laboratory abnormalities compared to the controls.

PLIP 2021: expanding the scope of the protein-ligand interaction profiler to DNA and RNA

Melissa F. Adasme et al.

Summary: With the growth of protein structure data, the analysis of molecular interactions between ligands and their target molecules becomes increasingly important. PLIP, a tool for protein-ligand interaction profiling, has been successful in detecting and visualizing these interactions, with applications ranging from characterizing docking experiments to evaluating novel ligand-protein complexes. Additionally, PLIP has been extended to encompass interactions with DNA and RNA, demonstrating its utility in scenarios such as cancer drug targeting DNA and RNA-protein complexes associated with neurological diseases.
