Viral infections trigger inflammasome-mediated caspase-1 activation. Nevertheless, limited understanding exists regarding how viruses use the active caspase-1 to evade host immune response. Here, we use porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) as a model of coronaviruses (CoVs) to illustrate the intricate regulation of CoVs to combat IFN-I signaling and pyroptosis.

Pacific white shrimp shell protein hydrolysates (SSPHs) produced using alcalase (UAH) and papain (UPH), and polyphenols (PPNs) conjugates were prepared using variable concentrations (0.5-3% /) of different polyphenols (EGCG, catechin, and gallic acid). When 2% (/) of a redox pair was used for conjugation, 0.

The emergence of new coronavirus variants and concerns about vaccine effectiveness against these novel variants emphasize the need for broad-spectrum therapeutics targeting conserved coronaviral non-structural proteins. Accordingly, a virtual library of 178 putative inhibitors targeting SARS-CoV-2 Papain-like protease (PL) was compiled through a systematic review of published literature and subsequently screened using molecular docking. Selected hits were analyzed for protease inhibitory activities, binding strength, and antiviral activities against HCoV229E-based surrogate system and subsequently against SARS-CoV-2 for validation.

Background: The unavoidable propagation of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has underscored the urgent requirement for efficacious therapeutic agents. The dried fruit of Retz., namely Chebulae Fructus, is widely used for treating bacterial and viral infectious diseases, which was witnessed to perform anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in recommended Chinese patent medicine.

In this study, skin collagen (TBSC) was extracted by acetic acid solubilization and its physicochemical properties were analyzed. The effects of TBSC and the TBSC hydrolysate (TBSCH) on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced photoaging were investigated using a mouse model.
