Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Runhui Qiu"
- Runhui Qiu's research primarily focuses on the identification and development of antiviral strategies against coronaviruses, particularly porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), highlighting the urgency of therapeutic advancements due to the zoonotic potential of these viruses.
- Recent findings emphasize the role of coronavirus 3C-like protease (CoV 3CL) as a critical target for drug development, revealing insights into its substrate selectivity and the molecular mechanisms by which it contributes to viral replication and immune evasion.
- Qiu's studies also explore innovative approaches, such as the application of chiral nanoparticles and the involvement of host cellular mechanisms, including autophagy and enzymatic regulation, in mitigating viral replication, thereby advancing the understanding of viral pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions.
