Abstract:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus that has caused devastating congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), including microcephaly, congenital malformation, and fetal demise in human newborns in recent epidemics. ZIKV infection can also cause Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and meningoencephalitis in adults. Despite intensive research in recent years, there are no approved vaccines or antiviral therapeutics against CZS and adult Zika diseases. In this report, we developed a novel live-attenuated ZIKV stra… Show more
“…[48][49][50] The plaque assay was performed following the guidelines of previous studies, to estimate the viral titer from the supernatants that were collected aer 24 hours of drug treatment in Vero E6 cells pre-infected with SARS-CoV-2. 49,51 The virus titer from different wells was calculated in PFU mL −1 , and differences in the viral titer were compared to the untreated virus control (Fig. 4d).…”
To develop an inhalable drug delivery system, we synthesized Remdesivir-loaded nanocomposites (RDV NCs) by coating drug-loaded nanoparticles with supramolecular cell-penetrating peptide nanofibers, enhancing uptake and intracellular drug delivery.
