ZIKV Phylogenetic Characterization Reveals Evolutionary Diversity, Regional Dissemination, and Emergence of African Lineages in Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Basic Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last epidemic in 2015–2016, Zika virus (ZIKV) gaining worldwide attention due to its association with neurological complications such as microcephaly and Guillain‐Barré syndrome. ZIKV can be transmitted through vector‐borne, sexual, maternal‐fetal, and blood transfusion transmission.

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

International Society of Laser Proctology Position Paper on SiLaC and EPSiT/SiLaC in the Management of Pilonidal Sinus Disease

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Minimally invasive treatment of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) via sinus tract laser closure (SiLaC) and endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) is being increasingly employed to manage PSD. Despite its wide adoption amongst colorectal surgeons in many nations, there still exists a wide heterogeneity in surgical technique.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Toward Dual‐Function Nanoparticle Platforms for Arboviral Diagnostics and Vaccines: Advances, Challenges, and Future Prospects

open access: yesNano Select, EarlyView.
This review explores nanoparticle (NP)‐based biosensors and nanovaccine platforms for arboviral infections, highlighting their design, performance, and translational potential. By comparing case studies across viruses, it identifies gold‐standard nanomaterials such as gold NPs (AuNPs), zinc oxide NPs (ZnONPs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanocomposites,

Is an ecosystem perspective sufficient to understand meta‐ecosystem processes? A critical reflection

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Meta‐ecosystems are the largest and probably most complex structures investigated in ecology. Because of their complexity they are often separated into their respective sub‐systems and then studied in isolation. This is often done without analysing whether an understanding of the individual ecosystems can lead to a proper understanding of the meta ...
