Biogenic Synthesis of Silver and Iron Nanoparticles Derived From Grewia Optiva Leaf Extract: A Novel Approach for Antidiabetic, Anticoagulant and Anti‐Inflammatory Therapies

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 159-174, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents the green synthesis of silver (Ag‐NPs) and iron nanoparticles (Fe‐NPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Grewia optiva as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The extract was prepared using a Kjeldahl apparatus under controlled heating. Nanoparticle synthesis was optimized by varying pH, temperature, and salt concentration,

Systematic Proteomic Characterization of EV‐A71‐Infected Mice Identifies Dynamic Molecular Changes and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Time‐resolved multi‐omics of EV‐A71‐infected BALB/c mice uncovered dynamic host responses, revealing rapid neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) activation as a key event. Screened drugs (kinase inhibitors) suppressed viral replication in vitro and in vivo, suggesting the promise of targeting host phosphorylation networks as a viable antiviral strategy.

Macrophage C3aR1 Mediates Sepsis‐Induced Myocardial Injury by Triggering Neutrophil Necroptosis

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced myocardial injury (SIMI) is a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients, driven by dysregulated immune‐inflammation responses. Although macrophages and neutrophils are key players in this process, the mechanisms governing their crosstalk in SIMI remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the complement C3a receptor 1 (

PPE may protect us, but it harms the sweatshop workers who make it [PDF]

, 2020
One of the greatest controversies of the UK coronavirus crisis is the shortage of PPE for NHS workers. Yet most PPE is made in sweatshops, and its production endangers the health of those who make it.

CC-chemokine ligand 18, CXC motif chemokine 13 and osteopontin as biomarkers of silicosis and asbestosis: a prospective observational study

Scientific Reports
Background Silicosis and asbestosis, distinct forms of pneumoconiosis, manifest progressive interstitial fibrosis due to exposure to silica dust or asbestos fibers. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing silicosis and asbestosis,

Anti‐CD146 Autoantibodies: The First Biologic Markers Associated With Occupational Exposure in Systemic Sclerosis

ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease, with occupational exposure being a significant risk factor. Because CD146 was recently identified as a driver of fibrosis in SSc through regulation of the Wnt/reactive oxygen species interplay, we hypothesized that it is a major autoimmune target in this disease. Methods We developed an
