Clone-Specific Drug Delivery Systems: Targeted Approaches and Future Clinical Applications
Abstract: Clone-specific drug delivery systems represent a transformative frontier in personalized medicine, addressing the longstanding challenge of clonal heterogeneity within diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders. Traditional drug delivery platforms often fail to discriminate between pathogenic and healthy cells, leading to systemic toxicity and reduced therapeutic efficacy. In contrast, clone-specific systems aim to selectively target and eliminate disease-driving cellular clones based on unique molecular signatures, thereby improving treatment …

Autonomous Infection Control System
Abstract: Escalating problems arise mainly at hospitals due to transmission of microbes through air, which causes life threatening situations. Doctors, nurses and other members are more vulnerable to diseases from within the place. PPE kits and other disinfecting procedures require an in-human presence to do the work, which makes it more challenging and puts the person's life at risk. In current scenarios, human presence is required for sanitising and cleaning procedures, …

A Scrutiny on Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Backing through IT
Abstract: Coronaviruses are a group of enveloped contagions with on-segmented, single-stranded, and positivesense RNA genomes. Six coronaviruses have been known to infect mortal hosts and cause respiratory conditions after infecting a variety of economically important invertebrates (such as gormandizers and cravens). Among them, several acute respiratory pattern coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory pattern coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are zoometric and largely pathogenic coronaviruses that have rebounded in indigenous and global outbreaks Coronaviruses …

Design of Novel Antiviral agents against Japanese Encephalitis virus NS3Helicase/NTPase Computational approach
Abstract: Pathogenic protozoa are commonly transmitted to food in developing countries, but food-borne outbreaks of infection are relatively rare in developed countries. The main protozoa of concern in developed countries are Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and these can be a problem in immune-compromised people. Other protozoa such as Entamoeba histolytica, Cyclosporacayetanensis and Sarcocystis can be a food-borne problem in non-industrialised countries. C. cayetanensis has emerged as a food-borne pathogen in foods …

In vitro Antiviral Chemical Treatment to BBTV-Infected Banana Cultures for Production of Virus-Free Plants
Abstract: Obtaining healthy plants from infected germplasm banana stocks is a major problem. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is the most destructive pathogen for the banana crop. Production of virus-free plants is crucial for cultivation, germplasm conservation and their exchanges. In vitro shoot meristem culture is the most common method for producing disease-free planting material. However, BBTV can multiply with in vitro cultures too. Therefore, for eliminating BBTV, the shoot-tip culture …
