A highly sensitive colorimetric method (glycan-based nano(e)zyme) was developed for sensitive and rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus based on N-acetyl neuraminic acid (sialic acid)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (SA-Au NZs). A number of techniques were used to characterize the prepared nanomaterials including XRD, FT-IR, UV-vis, DLS, and TEM. DLS analysis indicates an average hydrodynamic size of 34 nm, whereas TEM analysis indicates an average particle size of 15.

- Epidemiological studies and genetic analyses are crucial for understanding and managing zoonotic diseases in northeastern Iran, focusing on genetic diversity and phylogeny for the first time.
- DNA was extracted from 100 confirmed positive samples across various health centers, using specific gene amplification and sequencing to identify genetic similarities and build a phylogenetic tree.
- Findings revealed that the primary causative agent in the region was identified, showing high genetic diversity among strains, with a significant similarity to reference strains from Isfahan and Ilam, suggesting the need for similar prevention measures in these areas.
Allergic disorders are among the most common diseases around the world especially in children. Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of atopic disorders, but early events during the pregnancy are very important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of cord blood immunoglobulin E (CB-IgE) and its association with maternal in a group of Iranian newborns.
