A panel of nanobodies recognizing conserved hidden clefts of all SARS-CoV-2 spike variants including Omicron.

We are amid the historic coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Imbalances in the accessibility of vaccines, medicines, and diagnostics among countries, regions, and populations, and those in war crises, have been problematic. Nanobodies are small, stable, customizable, and inexpensive to produce.

IgG4-related disease of the paratestis with the scrotal fluid: A case report.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) can affect various organs, and the pancreas and salivary gland are representative examples. We report a rare case of IgG4-RD of the paratestis. A 74-year-old man presented with left scrotal swelling.

Fluorinated rhodacyanine (SJL-01) possessing high efficacy for visceral leishmaniasis (VL).

Anti-Leishmania in vitro and in vivo activities of various rhodacyanine derivatives have been examined. Among them, the fluorinatied variant SJL-01 (8) showed IC(50) of 0.011 microM against Leishmania donovani strain MHOM/ET/67/L82 (selective index of >15000) and 95-97% inhibition against L.

Synthesis of three classes of rhodacyanine dyes and evaluation of their in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity.

Selected members of three classes of rhodacyanine dyes, [0,0]-, [1,0]-, and [0,0,0]-rhodacyanines, were synthesized and their in vitro antimalarial activities against Plasmodium falciparum K1 (chloroquine-resistant strain) as well as their in vivo activities against P. berghei in mice were determined. The novel [0,0,0]-rhodacynines, 3e and 3h, possessing a benzothiazole moiety, were shown to have highly promising antimalarial activities in vivo.
