Novel Wide‐Spectrum Virucidal Lipid Nanoparticles (Small 7/2026)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Antiviral Nanoparticles In article number e07669, Yugo Araújo Martins, Caroline Tapparel, and co-workers present POSTAN, a novel antiviral nanoparticle built from biocompatible lipids that mimic heparan sulfate proteoglycans and viral lipid rafts. By hijacking the same pathways used by viruses, POSTAN dismantles their envelopes and blocks replication, demonstrating potent, broad-spectrum virucidal activity with strong translational potential.
