ORAI2-Driven SOCE and Early Postirradiation Salivary Gland F
2026-07-02
This study identifies ORAI2-mediated store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) as a central driver of early-stage postirradiation fibrosis in salivary glands. By mapping the ORAI2/JNK/NFAT1/TGF-β1 axis and demonstrating that pharmacological SOCE inhibition mitigates fibrosis, it establishes a mechanistic framework for targeted intervention in radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction.

Viperin Targets nsp8 to Block Coronavirus Replication Comple
2026-07-02
Zhou et al. (2026) reveal that viperin inhibits a wide range of coronaviruses by directly binding non-structural protein 8 (nsp8), thereby disrupting replication-transcription complex (RTC) assembly and impeding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) activity. This work uncovers a conserved antiviral mechanism and highlights new opportunities for developing broad-spectrum RNA virus replication inhibitors.
