Interventional human ocular safety experiments for 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C lamp irradiation
To directly assess the ocular safety of 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C (UVC) irradiation in humans, five subjects were exposed to 222‐nm UVC at doses of 22, 50, and 75 mJ/cm2. The findings indicate that far‐UVC irradiation does not cause “clinically significant photokeratitis” or long‐term ocular damage, though it may induce temporary discomfort.

Exploring the Genetic Diversity of Candida albicans in Animal Hosts: A One Health Perspective
ABSTRACT Introduction Candida albicans is an important priority fungal pathogen that commonly colonizes humans and a wide range of animal hosts, although its population structure in wildlife remains poorly explored. Methods In this study, 41 C. albicans isolates obtained from Italian wild animals (European hedgehogs, wolves, foxes, badgers, roe deer ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia
Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...
