As we step into 2024, the global health landscape is increasingly focused on combatting viral infections, which continue to pose significant threats to public health. The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the critical need for innovative strategies in antiviral research, and scientists worldwide are embarking on groundbreaking projects to develop more effective therapies, vaccines, and preventive ...
Biomedical liquid waste originating from healthcare facilities, laboratories, and research centers often contains infectious materials that, when discharged without proper treatment, can contribute to the spread of communicable diseases through public sewers. These diseases can affect individuals coming into contact with contaminated water sources ...
Cytokines are a broad class of tiny proteins that are essential for controlling inflammation and immunological responses. Numerous cell types, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, immunological cells, and epithelial cells, produce these signaling molecules. Serving as intermediaries, they synchronize various cell functions to elicit the body's defense mechanisms against infections, tissue ...
We plan to develop sublingual interferon-alfa for the prevention of viral infections, such as influenza and coronaviruses (such as COVID-19). The rise in prevalence of viral respiratory infections in humans and increase in health care expenditure are projected to boost the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment market. Respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza ...
The Challenge Every 60 minutes, of every day, six people suffer a needlestick injury somewhere in the world. Every day, 3 people die as a result of those injuries[1]. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports in the World Health Report 2002, that of the 35 million health-care workers world wide, two million experience percutaneous exposure to infectious diseases each year[2]. WHO estimates ...
On February 16, 2022, the data on Paxlovid previously published by Pfizer and submitted to the FDA were published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). This NEJM article published viral load data that Paxlovid reduced viral load by 0.868 log10 compared to controls for 5 days of treatment, which equates to a remarkable 7.38-fold reduction in viral load. This pivotal study (NCT04960202) ...
Protease formulations are without a doubt one of the most fully functional dietary supplements in terms of providing significant health benefits. Clinical studies have documented numerous effective benefits and support for people facing a variety of health challenges, including: a) Asthma b) Atherosclerosis c) Autoimmune disease d) Bronchitis e) Cancer f) ...
Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. A healthy diet and lifestyle are the key to preventing various diseases. In recent years, probiotics, as part of a healthy diet, have received increasing attention for their role in cancer prevention and treatment, including liver cancer. Do probiotics have the potential to prevent liver ...
Background Stem cells are naturally occurring cells in the body that have the ability to divide and produce a range of different cell types. They are important in the growth and development of the body as well as repair after injury. The past few years have brought a dramatic increase in the body of knowledge concerning stem cells, and their research and investment into uses in medicines1. ...
Abstract Serine-rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) plays a critical role in liver function and its loss promotes chronic liver damage and regeneration. As a consequence, genetic deletion of SRSF3 in hepatocytes caused progressive liver disease and ultimately led to hepatocellular carcinoma. Here we show that SRSF3 is decreased in human liver samples with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), ...
