Ligand concentration determines antiviral efficacy of silica multivalent nanoparticles

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Quy Ong Khac, Xufeng Xu, Rémi Andréa La Polla, Heyun Wang

We have learned from the recent COVID-19 pandemic that the emergence of a new virus can quickly become a global health burden and kill millions of lives. Antiviral drugs are essential in our fight against viral diseases, but most of them are virus-specific ...

Viral Genetic Determinants of Prolonged Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Among Infants in a Healthy Term Birth Cohort

Jacques Fellay, Zhi Ming Xu, Dylan Lawless, Thomas Junier

Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with acute respiratory infection. We sought to identify RSV variants associated with prolonged infection. Methods. Among healthy term infants we identified those with prolonged RSV infection and c ...

Mechanism of Reduction of Aqueous U(V)-dpaea and Solid-Phase 2 U(VI)-dpaea Complexes: The Role of Multiheme c‑Type Cytochromes

Marinella Mazzanti, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas, Radmila Faizova

The biological reduction of soluble U(VI) complexes to form immobile U(IV) species has been proposed to remediate contaminated sites. It is well established that multiheme c-type cytochromes (MHCs) are key mediators of electron transfer to aqueous phase U( ...

Identification of broad anti-coronavirus chemical agents for repurposing against SARS-CoV-2 and variants of concern

Gerardo Turcatti, Fabien Kuttler, Michael Bauer, Liliane Yang

Endemic human coronaviruses (hCoVs) 229E and OC43 cause respiratory disease with recurrent infections, while severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 spreads across the world with impact on health and societies. Here, we report an image-based multicy ...

Polyanionic Amphiphilic Dendritic Polyglycerols as Broad-Spectrum Viral Inhibitors with a Virucidal Mechanism

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri, Valeria Cagno

Heparin has been known to be a broad-spectrum inhibitor of viral infection for almost 70 years, and it has been used as a medication for almost 90 years due to its anticoagulant effect. This nontoxic biocompatible polymer efficiently binds to many types of ...

The influence of human genetic variation on Epstein–Barr virus sequence diversity

Jacques Fellay, Dylan Lawless, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Christian Hammer, Sina Rüeger

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most common viruses latently infecting humans. Little is known about the impact of human genetic variation on the large inter-individual differences observed in response to EBV infection. To search for a potential imp ...

Modified cyclodextrins as broad-spectrum antivirals

Francesco Stellacci, Natalia Gasilova, Matteo Gasbarri, Valeria Cagno, Samuel Thomas Jones, Matej Janecek

Viral infections kill millions of people and new antivirals are needed. Nontoxic drugs that irreversibly inhibit viruses (virucidal) are postulated to be ideal. Unfortunately, all virucidal molecules described to date are cytotoxic. We recently developed n ...

Characterizing human cytomegalovirus reinfection in congenitally infected infants: an evolutionary perspective

Kristen Kay Irwin, Jeffrey David Jensen, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Cornelia Pokalyuk

Given the strong selective pressures often faced by populations when colonizing a novel habitat, the level of variation present on which selection may act is an important indicator of adaptive potential. While often discussed in an ecological context, this ...
