N-acylethanolamine acid amidase inhibition reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in Human Precision cut-lung slices and downregulates NF-kappaB signalling.

Veronica La Rocca, Carolina Filipponi, Viktoria Diesendorf…·Michele Lai

This study shows that inhibiting NAAA reduces SARS-CoV-2 replication in human lung tissue and suppresses NF-kappaB signaling.

AMPK/ULK1 activation downregulates TXNIP, Rab5, and Rab7 and inhibits endocytosis-mediated entry of human pathogenic viruses

Viktoria Diesendorf, Veronica La Rocca, Michelle Teutsch…·Jochen Bodem

This study shows that AMPK/ULK1 activation inhibits endocytosis and blocks viral entry by reducing key endocytic factors and endosomal markers.
