Tolerability, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Ivermectin After Nasal Application in Healthy Adult Subjects

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Nasal epithelium is the site of infection for SARS‐CoV2 viruses, with interactions of the viral spike protein with the ACE2 receptor of the host cell. Molecular docking studies have shown that ivermectin shields the spike protein and thereby prevents binding to ACE2.

The General Biological Relativity Theory and Multiscale Modeling of Living Systems as Complex Systems

Complexity, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The scientific community is aware that the great scientific revolution of this century will be the formulation of a theory of complex systems and formalize it in mathematical terms. In this article, we formulate a unified theory of living systems as complex systems called the general biological relativity theory, which states that at every level of ...
