The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 imposes an urgent need for rapid
development of an efficient and cost-effective vaccine, suitable for mass immunization. Here, we …

Objectives Environmental surfaces have been suggested as likely contributors in the transmission
of COVID-19. This study assessed the infectivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome …

Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) takes advantage of intravascular excitation of
a photosensitizer (PS) to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS are …

The COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder that a barren global antiviral pipeline has grave
humanitarian consequences. Future pandemics could be prevented by accessible, easily …

Public health experts emphasize the need for quick, point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 detection as
an effective strategy for controlling virus spread. To this end, many “antigen” detection …

The emergence of rapidly spreading variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a major challenge to the ability of vaccines and therapeutic …

Monoclonal antibodies represent an important avenue for COVID-19 therapy and are routinely
used for rapid and accessible diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The recent emergence …

The virulence of Bacillus anthraci s, the causative agent of anthrax, stems from its antiphagocytic
capsule, encoded by pXO2, and the tripartite toxins encoded by pXO1. The accepted …

Recently, numerous diagnostic approaches from different disciplines have been developed
for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis to monitor and control the COVID-19 pandemic. These include …

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain emergence raised concerns that its enhanced infectivity is
partly due to altered spread/contamination modalities. We therefore sampled high-contact …
