Aloe barbadensis Miller (or Aloe vera) has widespread use in health products, and despite numerous reports on the whole plant, little work has been performed on the inner gel, which has been used extensively in these products. This report describes the in vitro susceptibilities of two bacteria to this component.

Department of Virology & Biotechnology, ICMR-National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis, Chennai 600031, India.
The biological characteristics of early transmitted/founder (T/F) variants are crucial factors for viral transmission and constitute key determinants for the development of better therapeutics and vaccine strategies. The present study aimed to generate T/F viruses and to characterize their biological properties. For this purpose, we constructed 18 full-length infectious molecular clones (IMCs) of HIV from recently infected infants.

The lack of emergency treatment and a safe licensed vaccine against WNV allows the virus to cause sporadic outbreaks of human disease, including fatal cases. Formalin-inactivated vaccines have been used for a long time and have been shown to be very safe and effective, especially in susceptible populations.

Standard-of-care influenza vaccines contain antigens that are typically derived from components of wild type (WT) influenza viruses. Often, these antigens elicit strain-specific immune responses and are susceptible to mismatch in seasons where antigenic drift is prevalent. Thanks to advances in viral surveillance and sequencing, influenza vaccine antigens can now be optimized using computationally derived methodologies and algorithms to enhance their immunogenicity.

This study assessed the susceptibility to staining and surface roughness of white-spot lesions (WSLs) treated with resin infiltration (RIT) and microabrasion (MA) under simulated aging through thermocycling in red wine. Seventy-eight extracted human premolars with artificial WSLs were divided into three groups: untreated WSLs (control), RIT-treated (ICON, DMG), and MA-treated (Opalustre, Ultradent). Each group was further split: one subgroup immersed in artificial saliva and the other thermocycled in red wine.

Department of Biology, College of Science, Qassim University, Qassim 51452, Saudi Arabia.
The arid mountainous region of Hail in Saudi Arabia has a variety of desert vegetation, some of which are conventionally used in Bedouin traditional medicine. These plants need scientific examination. This research seeks to examine using a thorough multi-analytical methodology that includes antibacterial and antioxidant assessments as well as computational modeling.
