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

Global Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
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.

Fungal Keratitis, or Misled by a Small Insect?

Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020
The pine processionary caterpillar is an insect that has multiple small, thin hairs around its body as a defense mechanism. These hairs have a hazardous effect on ocular structures and cause a broad range of reactions from conjunctivitis to endophthalmitis, referred to as ophthalmia nodosa. The diagnosis of the disease is based on the patient's history

Structures of α‐galactosaminidases from the CAZy GH114 family and homologs defining a new GH191 family of glycosidases

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 234-251, May 2025.
Structural and functional analysis of a new fungal GH114 endo‐α‐1,4‐galactosaminidase, along with homologs that establish a new GH191 family of glycoside hydrolases, are reported. In addition, various crystal pathologies led to the development of a new refinement procedure for disordered structures.Endo‐galactosaminidases are an underexplored family of
