Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

On the Dynamics of Dengue Virus type 2 with Residence Times and Vertical Transmission

, 2016
A two-patch mathematical model of Dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) that accounts for vectors' vertical transmission and between patches human dispersal is introduced. Dispersal is modeled via a Lagrangian approach.

Mapping protein–protein interactions by mass spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for numerous biological activities, including signal transduction, transcription control, and metabolism. They play a pivotal role in the organization and function of the proteome, and their perturbation is associated with various diseases, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and infectious ...

Estimates of Solutions for Integro‐Differential Equations in Epidemiological Modeling

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integro‐differential equations (IDE) have been applied in a variety of areas of research, including epidemiology. Recently, IDE systems were applied to study dengue fever transmission dynamics at the population level. In this study, we extend the approach presented in a previous study for describing the epidemiological model of dengue fever ...

The Antiviral Activity of Polyphenols

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Polyphenols demonstrate remarkable antiviral properties by effectively disrupting multiple biochemical processes essential for viral replication. ABSTRACT Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by a large variety of plants. These compounds that comprise the class of phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, flavonoids, and tannins have a ...

Local Service Provision During War‐A Case Study of Yemen

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In conflict‐ridden regions like Yemen, local governance structures play a critical role in shaping the provision of essential services during ongoing war. This study examines these complexities by focusing on five key governorates: Marib, Sana'a, Aden, Hodeidah, and Hadramaut. Methodologically, it employs 27 semi‐structured interviews with key
