TL;DR: Results suggest that plant secondary metabolites are important for survival against a viral pathogen and may be associated with activation of PO.

TL;DR: It is suggested that tiny, yet highly sensitive, sensory adaptations may aid in an interesting arthropod behavior that takes place before the fire arrives: insect ears.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that honeysuckle and Huangqi have the potential to be used as an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 virus entry that warrants further in vivo analysis and functional assessment of miRNAs to confirm their clinical importance.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effect of Virofree was repurposed as a potential herbal medicine to combat COVID-19 and highlighted the entry of Delta and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2, which have not had any effective treatments during the emergence of the new variants spreading.

TL;DR: Astragalus polysaccharide (PG2) as discussed by the authors is a repurposed drug that possesses the potential to prevent WT SARS-CoV-2 S-mediated syncytia formation with the host cells; it also inhibits the binding of S proteins of WT, alpha, and beta strains to the recombinant ACE2 and halts severe COVID-19 development by regulating the polarization of macrophages to M2 cells.
