Charting the landscape of the environmental exposome

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
We describe the biological and chemical components of the environmental exposomes in three major environmental matrices that are highly relevant to human and social‐economical health—air, soil, and water. We discuss how different exposome components can interact with each other. Finally, we propose a list of outstanding challenges to be tackled to push

Hydrogel‐Based Smart Materials for Wound Healing and Sensing

Aggregate, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the role of hydrogel‐based flexible materials in advancing biomedical applications, including wound healing, point‐of‐care diagnostics, smart patches, and wearable devices. Hydrogels are particularly promising in modern wound care due to their high‐water content, flexibility, and biocompatibility.

Gut microbiota‐stem cell niche crosstalk: A new territory for maintaining intestinal homeostasis

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are protected by their niche and are regulated by Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein, and Notch. ISCs and their relationship with intestinal microbiota provide a feasible pathway to alleviate intestinal diseases. Diverse bacteria‐related postbiotics regulate ISCs and maintain their homeostasis.

Maribavir Pharmacokinetics and Safety in Participants With Moderate Hepatic Impairment: A Phase 1, Open‐Label, Single‐Dose, Parallel Group Study

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 250-258, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Maribavir, an orally bioavailable antiviral, has shown superior activity against posttransplant cytomegalovirus infection compared with conventional antivirals. It is primarily metabolized in the liver. This open‐label, single‐center study evaluated the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of maribavir in nontransplant ...

A time scales approach to coinfection by opportunistic diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Traditional biomedical approaches treat diseases in isolation, but the importance of synergistic disease interactions is now recognized. As a first step we present and analyze a simple coinfection model for two diseases affecting simultaneously a population.
