Contemporary nanocellulose-composites: A new paradigm for sensing applications.

Nanocellulose (NC) is the biological polymeric nanomaterial booming in the international market. The burgeoning demand for cellulose materials and advancements in nanotechnology have intensified the researches on the development of cellulose-based nanomaterials. Substantial research on nanocellulose-based composites in energy, electronics, biomedical, health, and the environment has been carried out in the last few decades.

Potential diagnostics and therapeutic approaches in COVID-19.

The most important aspect of controlling COVID-19 is its timely diagnosis. Molecular diagnostic tests target the detection of any of the following markers such as the specific region of the viral genome, certain enzyme, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, the structural proteins such as surface spike glycoprotein, nucleocapsid protein, envelope protein, or membrane protein of SARS-CoV-2. This review highlights the underlying mechanisms, advancements, and clinical limitations for each of the diagnostic techniques authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (USA).
