Article Synopsis
- * There is a growing interest in the use of antifungal nanomaterials as a potential treatment alternative, as they may improve the management of COVID-19-related fungal infections like mucormycosis.
- * Recent developments in nanomaterials offer promise, but more research is necessary to effectively utilize these therapies against mucormycosis, especially when it occurs alongside viral infections.
Article Synopsis
- Oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s antioxidant defenses, affecting cellular function and survival.
- It plays a key role in regulating action potentials (APs) in excitable cells like neurons and myocytes, with implications for conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases and cardiac issues.
- The review investigates how oxidative stress alters ion channel behavior and cellular dynamics, aiming to clarify its role in disease progression and potential treatment strategies.
