Modulating cell endocytosis activity to reduce host susceptibility to virus represents a promising strategy for antiviral drug development. In this study, we reveal that lactate transporter SLC16A3 as a critical host factor for reducing diverse virus invasion. By performing metabolomics, proteomi...
Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and acquires ...
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes acute intestinal disease in pigs and remains a major threat to the global swine industry due to its high morbidity and mortality in neonatal piglets. To investigate host metabolic alterations upon PEDV infection, we performed untargeted metabolomic pr...
Objective: Fulminant Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection may lead to fatal outcomes in patients with EBV-associated encephalitis (EBVAE). To investigate potential biomarkers in EBVAE, we utilized an untargeted metabolomic methodology to identify disease-associated biomarkers in patients ...
The precise mechanism by which butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut contribute to resistance to respiratory viral infections remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe a gut-lung axis mechanism and report that orally administered Clostridium butyricum (CB) enhances influenza virus infection re...
ZIKV infection is associated with testicular damage and abnormal spermatogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these pathogenic processes remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that ZIKV disrupts Leydig cells' ability to produce testosterone, leading to decreased sperm counts and mo...
