Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Atherogenic ApoB-dyslipidemia, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in high-risk young women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome: A pilot study

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in young women of reproductive age. There are limited studies on atherogenic dyslipidemia, inclusive of triglycerides (TG), Apolipoprotein (apo) B-lipoproteins

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

Combining Biomarkers and Imaging for Short‐Term Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Apparently Healthy Adults

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Current strategies for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment focus on 10‐year or longer timeframes. Shorter‐term CVD risk is also clinically relevant, particularly for high‐risk occupations, but is under‐investigated.
