Searching for new bioactive molecules to design insecticides is a complex process since
pesticides should be highly selective, active against the vector, and bio-safe for humans. …

Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-mediated photothermal therapy represents an alternative to the
effective ablation of cancer cells. However, the photothermal response of AuNPs must be …

Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are important vectors for a number of human pathogens
including the Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses. Capable of displacing Aedes aegypti …

CRISPR-based genetic engineering tools aimed to bias sex ratios, or drive effector genes into
animal populations, often integrate the transgenes into autosomal chromosomes. However…

Although there are existing vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2
(SARS-CoV-2), new COVID-19 cases are increasing due to low immunization coverage …

Cymbopogon flexuosus is a medicinal plant with various biological activities. Although its
essential oil (EO) is widely used, the effect of C. flexuosus EO on mitochondrial bioenergetics …

A series of isoxazole linked to 4-(2-oxopyrrolinidyl-1)-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives was
efficiently synthesized. The synthetic route started with the formation of the corresponding N-…

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are responsible for dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus transmission
in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. Due to the absence of vaccines or …

Compounds having insecticidal activity can be used to control Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, a
