This study shows that plasma membrane-derived vesicles inhibit Influenza A virus infection in a size-dependent manner by competitively binding to hemagglutinin.

The paper designs a tryptophan-aspartic acid peptide analog, mGG21, that inhibits membrane fusion and enveloped viral infection by altering membrane physical properties.

This study shows that 25-hydroxycholesterol inhibits Japanese encephalitis virus infection in Vero cells with an IC50 of 4.18 µM and no cell toxicity.

This paper develops a peptide-based fusion inhibitor, mTG-23, derived from coronin 1, which inhibits membrane fusion in vitro and reduces influenza A virus infection in cell lines.
