The plant cell is reprogrammed and undergoes drastic morphological alterations during infection by viruses. Infection leads to the formation of viral factories, derived from host cell membranes for viral replication. This review discusses the biogenesis of the different viral replication factories that are observed and the impact of their formation on the cell metabolism. The involvement of viral factories in cell-to-cell movement of the virus and modifications of plasmodesmata are also described.

SARS-CoV-2 NSP3/4 control formation of replication organelle and recruitment of RNA polymerase NSP12.
J Cell Biol

Guangzhou National Laboratory , Guangzhou, China.
β-coronavirus rearranges the host cellular membranes to form double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) via NSP3/4, which anchor replication-transcription complexes (RTCs), thereby constituting the replication organelles (ROs). However, the impact of specific domains within NSP3/4 on DMV formation and RO assembly remains largely unknown. By using cryogenic-correlated light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM), we discovered that the N-terminal and C-terminal domains (NTD and CTD) of SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 are essential for DMV formation.

Group A rotavirus (RVA) is a major cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children globally, despite the availability of live-attenuated vaccines. Challenges such as limited efficacy in low-income regions, safety concerns for immunocompromised individuals, and cold-chain dependency necessitate alternative vaccine strategies. Subunit vaccines, which use specific viral proteins to elicit immunity, provide a safer and more adaptable approach.

Many viral proteins form biomolecular condensates via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to support viral replication and evade host antiviral responses, and thus, they are potential targets for designing antivirals. In the case of nonenveloped positive-sense RNA viruses, forming such condensates for viral replication is unclear and less understood. Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are positive-sense RNA viruses that cause epidemic and sporadic gastroenteritis worldwide.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA.
Background: Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle most often caused by viral infections. Sex differences in the immune response during myocarditis have been well described but upstream mechanisms in the heart that might influence sex differences in disease are not completely understood.
Methods: Male and female BALB/c wild type mice received an intraperitoneal injection of heart-passaged coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) or vehicle control.
Optimization of antiviral dosing in Herpesviridae encephalitis: a promising approach to improve outcome?

Background: Despite established antiviral therapy for herpes simplex (HSV), varicella zoster (VZV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) encephalitis, outcome remains poor.
Objectives: To assess pharmacokinetic (PK) and -dynamic (PD) data of antiviral drugs in the central nervous system (CNS) to optimize treatment of Herpesviridae encephalitis.
