Herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) are widespread human pathogens that establish chronic latent infections leading to recurrent episodes. Current treatments are limited, necessitating the development of novel antiviral strategies. This study aimed to assess the antiviral efficacy of novel topical formulations containing interferon alpha-2b (IFN α-2b) against HSV-1 and HSV-2.

- - COVID-19 is a serious and contagious respiratory illness, leading to the search for new treatments, particularly looking into polysaccharides with antiviral potential.
- - The study focused on the antiviral effects of the drug "Immeran" against SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters, testing doses of 500 and 1000 μg/kg through intraperitoneal injections.
- - Results showed that Immeran effectively reduced virus replication in the lungs and, at the higher dose, prevented weight loss in hamsters, while also promoting the production of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, indicating it might enhance immune responses.
Article Synopsis
- A new method for high-resolution imaging using a flexible multimode fiber has been demonstrated, utilizing a swept-laser source and specific wavelength-dependent illumination to enhance image quality.
- This technique eliminates the need for mechanical scanning, allowing for faster image acquisition while maintaining excellent resolution—reducing the time taken by 95% compared to traditional approaches.
- The narrow-band light in the visible spectrum is particularly important for detecting fluorescence biomarkers, making this method promising for neuroimaging and minimally invasive procedures.
Introduction: The variability of SARS-CoV-2 appeared to be higher than expected, the emergence of new variants raises concerns. The aim of the work was to compare the pathogenicity of the Wuhan and BA.1.

These phenotypic responses, however, show variability between geographic locations or habitats (e.g.
