Antimicrobial Multi‐Assay Evaluation of (Al‐Doped ZnO)‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag Nanocoatings: Impact of Direct and Indirect Mechanisms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work explores the antimicrobial action of AZO‐Ag and TiO2‐Ag nanocoatings on plastic, demonstrating good efficacy against highly‐critical antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, yeast, and virus. A multi‐assay approach is here exploited to inspect the contribution of direct and indirect antimicrobial mechanisms, and potential human toxicity is also ...

Enhanced Antiviral Activity of Human Surfactant Protein D by Site-Specific Engineering of the Carbohydrate Recognition Domain

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Innate immunity is critical in the early containment of influenza A virus (IAV) infection and surfactant protein D (SP-D) plays a crucial role in innate defense against IAV in the lungs.

Durable Electro‐Photothermal Superhydrophobic Coatings Based on Liquid‐Like Functionalization of Nanoparticles: Improved Water Repellency and Droplet Rebound

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are functionalized with liquid‐like linear polydimethylsiloxane (LPDMS) brushes and conventional solid‐like alkyl brushes, then incorporated into a resin and spray‐coated onto substrates. The resulting surfaces exhibit distinct water‐repellent behaviors.

Tracking TCRß sequence clonotype expansions during antiviral therapy using high-throughput sequencing of the hypervariable region [PDF]

, 2016
To maintain a persistent infection viruses such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) employ a range of mechanisms that subvert protective T cell responses. The suppression of antigen-specific T cell responses by HCV hinders efforts to profile T cell responses ...

Antiviral Replication Agents

, 2013
The last few decades have shown a great progress in the development of antiviral agents that were licensed for treatment of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), herpesviruses, hepatitis viruses and respiratory viruses. The majority of viral infections clear spontaneously and are not in need for specific medical therapy.

Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Screening kinase inhibitors identifies MELK as a prime target against influenza virus infections through inhibition of viral mRNA splicing

Frontiers in Microbiology
Influenza epidemics represent a significant threat to global public health, primarily caused by the influenza viruses A and B. Although antiviral drugs targeting the influenza virus, such as zanamivir and oseltamivir, are clinically available, the ...

Sustainable Lignin@ZnO Hybrid Materials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Preliminary Biostimulant Assessment in Tomato Plants

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores the synthesis of lignin‐based ZnO hybrid materials, combining the bioactive potential of lignin with the role of zinc as a plant micronutrient. In vivo experiments on tomato plants highlighted the controlled nutrient delivery capacity of the hybrid compared to ZnO alone.
