Optimal Control of Microcephaly Under Vertical Transmission of Zika [PDF]

Axioms 13 (2024), no. 11, Art. 772, 14pp
The Zika virus, known for its potential to induce neurological conditions such as microcephaly when transmitted vertically from infected mothers to infants, has sparked widespread concerns globally. Motivated by this, we propose an optimal control problem for the prevention of vertical Zika transmission.

Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.

Antibodies targeting epitopes on the cell-surface form of NS1 protect against Zika virus infection during pregnancy

Nature Communications, 2020
There are no licensed therapeutics or vaccines available against Zika virus (ZIKV) to counteract its potential for congenital disease. Antibody-based countermeasures targeting the ZIKV envelope protein have been hampered by concerns for cross-reactive ...

Copper‐Catalyzed Synthesis of C‐2 Substituted Indolin‐3‐Ones and Indolin‐3‐One [4+2] Cycloadducts Through Azide‐Tethered Iodonium Ylides

Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Azide‐tethered iodonium ylides under copper catalysis generate metallocarbenes that undergo intramolecular trapping by the azide moiety and generate a reactive C‐acylimine, effectively coupling two nucleophilic centers. This intermediate can be trapped by a wide range of nucleophiles or 1,3‐dienes producing complex indolin‐3‐ones and ...
