Designing Scalable Mechano‐Virucidal Nanostructured Acrylic Surfaces for Enhanced Viral Inactivation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Can a surface be designed to physically break viruses? This study explores how nanoscale geometry—specifically the spacing of tiny pillars—can determine whether viruses remain intact or rupture. Using flexible acrylic and a scalable fabrication process, the authors develop nanopillared, transparent surfaces that show strong antiviral activity without ...

Adjuvante Therapie des schweren und/oder refraktären bullösen Pemphigoids mit Immunadsorption – eine prospektive monozentrische Pilotstudie

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 472-481, April 2026.
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund und Zielsetzung Das bullöse Pemphigoid (BP) ist die häufigste blasenbildende Autoimmunerkrankung in der westlichen Welt. Während die Mehrheit der Patienten mit BP durch die langfristige Anwendung von Kortikosteroiden mit oder ohne Immunmodulatoren/Immunsuppressiva Remissionen erreicht, empfehlen nationale und internationale ...

Noroviruses and sapoviruses in pigs in Belgium.

, 2008
peer reviewedPorcine noroviruses and sapoviruses belong to the family Caliciviridae and are rarely reported in European countries. In this study, swine stools from a region representative of northern Europe were screened for these viruses by RT-PCR. Both

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Human Noroviruses in Swine and Cattle

, 2007
Human noroviruses are the predominant cause of foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. Strains of norovirus also exist that are uniquely associated with animals; their contribution to the incidence of human illness remains unclear.

Noroviruses Co-opt the Function of Host Proteins VAPA and VAPB for Replication via a Phenylalanine–Phenylalanine-Acidic-Tract-Motif Mimic in Nonstructural Viral Protein NS1/2

mBio, 2017
The Norovirus genus contains important human pathogens, but the role of host pathways in norovirus replication is largely unknown. Murine noroviruses provide the opportunity to study norovirus replication in cell culture and in small animals.

Assessment of Meat Handlers’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Regarding Meat Safety in Retail Meat Shops

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
A cross‐sectional study among 182 meat handlers in Mekelle, Ethiopia, assessed KAP on meat safety. Good knowledge (88.46%), attitudes (92.31%) and practices (71.98%) were observed. Education, experience and training were significant factors. Gaps included limited pathogen awareness and inadequate PPE use, highlighting the need for continuous training ...

Next‐Generation Bio‐Reducible Lipids Enable Enhanced Vaccine Efficacy in Malaria and Primate Models

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 11, 5 February 2026.
Structure–activity relationship (SAR) optimization of bio‐reducible ionizable lipids enables the development of highly effective lipid nanoparticle (LNP) mRNA vaccines. Lead LNPs show superior tolerability and antibody responses in rodents and primates, outperforming approved COVID‐19 vaccine lipids.
