Pin1 Inhibitors Could Stop Cold Sores by Reshaping Cellular Barriers
New antiviral strategy targets host cell structures to combat HSV-1 Researchers are exploring a novel class of antivirals that go beyond directly attacking viruses. Pin1 inhibitors, a group of compounds that modulate the host enzyme peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1), have shown promise in curbing herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication. HSV-1 is the…

Pin1 Inhibitors Offer New Hope Against Cold Sores by Altering Cell Structures
New class of antivirals targets host cell structure to block HSV-1 A promising development from recent research suggests that a class of antivirals known as Pin1 inhibitors could prevent or significantly reduce outbreaks of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the virus behind oral herpes and cold sores. The study, published in Antiviral Research, highlights a…

Pin1 Inhibitors Could Halt HSV-1 Outbreaks In Humans
New Pin1 Inhibitors Offer a New Way to Combat Cold Sores Researchers are exploring a novel class of antivirals that could change how we prevent and treat oral herpes. Pin1 inhibitors, designed to target a cellular enzyme called peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1), have shown potential to curb herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication.…
