Supramolecular Nanofibers Block SARS-CoV-2 Entry into Human Host Cells
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces"
DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c02447
Abstract: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection relies on its spike protein binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on host cells to initiate cellular entry. Blocking the interactions between the spike protein and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21501203.2025.2461720
Abstract: ABSTRACT Dermatophytes are a taxonomic group of keratinophilic fungi that engender cutaneous infections across human and animal populations. The zoophilic species Microsporum canis, which exhibits a widespread distribution, predominantly affects domesticated felines and canines and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-020-3136-9
Abstract: Zooprophylaxis is a technique in which blood-seeking vectors are diverted to non-host animals in order to lower blood-feeding rates on human hosts. The success of this technique depends on the host preference of the vector… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3003366
Abstract: Escherichia coli is arguably one of the most studied bacterial model systems in modern biology. While E. coli are normally rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria, they are known to undergo conditional morphology changes under environmental and nutrient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0012009
Abstract: Schistosomiasis is the second most widespread parasitic disease affecting humans. A key component of today’s infection control measures is the diagnosis and monitoring of infection, informing individual- and community-level treatment. However, newly acquired infections and/or… read more here.
