Extensive clinical efforts have been made to control the severity of dengue diseases; however, the dengue morbidity and mortality have not declined. Dengue virus (DENV) can infect and cause systemic damage in many organs, resulting in organ failure. Here, we present a novel report showing a tailored stem-cell-based therapy that can aid in viral clearance and rescue liver cells from further damage during dengue infection.

However, there is few reported example of a simple method to prepare AgPO coatings on various substrates. In this study a novel and simple method to immobilize AgPO on the surface of glass substrates has been developed.

This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of leptospiral antibodies and distribution of serovars, and to assess the usefulness of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a screening method for leptospiral antibodies in a high-risk healthy community.
Methods: Cross-sectional study of 231 market workers and food handlers in wet markets and food premises from two localities in central Malaysia.
Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira species, and the study focused on the LipL32 protein, which is critical for identifying these pathogens.
- Researchers analyzed the LipL32 gene in fourteen strains of pathogenic Leptospira using bioinformatics to understand its structure and variations.
- The findings revealed that LipL32 was highly conserved among the strains, providing insights that may help in developing reliable detection methods for the disease.
