Modulation of innate immunity related genes resulting in prophylactic antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

Researchers studied how interactions between viruses (influenza, RSV) and bacteria/fungi in the respiratory tract can dysregulate the immune system during COVID-19, especially in children and vulnerable populations. This knowledge is crucial for managing co-infections and improving patient outcomes.

Herbal Composite Preparation and Investigating its Efficiency to Inhibit Biofilm Formation and Virulence Factors of Prevotella Intermedia and Porphyromonas Gingivalis - Formulation of Mouthwash Using a Herbal Composite and Evaluating its Anti-microbial Activity.

Researchers developed a herbal composite using herbal extracts to inhibit dental pathogens. It showed effective inhibition of biofilm and lactic acid production, stable formulation, and strong antibacterial activity. The composite has potential for developing a biocompatible herbal mouthwash to prevent dental issues related to biofilm.
