Interaction-mediating sequences within class I viral fusion glycoproteins : their roles in viral infection and in applications by Zhang, Simin

“…In Paper I, peptide array scanning identified 34 spike (S) protein-derived peptides that bound to the S protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). These putative self-binding peptides contain five core octapeptide consensus sequences, among which the octapeptide GINITNFR was predicted to form β-zipper-mediated amyloid-like fibrils. …”

Repurposing nitroxoline to address antibiotic resistance in the production of poultry for consumption by Zhou, Y

“…Pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles in chicken plasma (Chapter 6) and drug residue clearance patterns of NTX in tissues (Chapter 7) were investigated using an established ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-MS/MS (UPLC-MS/MS) method, providing valuable insights into NTX's pharmacological properties, and thus, determining withdrawal times and ensuring drug-food safety-levels. …”

Gold-catalyzed cyclization of yndiamides with isoxazoles via α-imino gold Fischer carbenes by Tong, Z, Smith, PJ, Pickford, HD, Christensen, KE, Anderson, EA

“…By using benzisoxazoles as substrates, the reaction outcome could be switched to a formal [5+2] cyclization, leading to 1,4-oxazepines.…”

Computational analysis for infectious diseases surveillance and host-pathogen interactions (in the context of Influenza A viruses) by Beyene, Biruhalem Taye

“…While there are few clinically approved anti-IAV drugs for therapeutic and prophylactic use, these drugs have also been challenged by the emergence of drug resistance, toxicity, adverse effects and low efficacy. …”

Layer-by-Layer Nanoparticles for Cytokine Delivery by Pires, Ivan S.

“…When evaluated for its effectiveness in this highly aggressive model, two doses could significantly enhance survival compared to even five times (5x) the amount of free cytokine. Remarkably, while the model was non-responsive to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4, when combined with LbL-IL-12-NPs, we achieved complete responses with robust immune memory induction. …”
