Immunoinformatics and Reverse Vaccinology Approach for the Identification of Potential Vaccine Candidates against <i>Vandammella animalimors</i>

Vandammella animalimorsus is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacterium typically transmitted to humans through direct contact with the saliva of infected animals, primarily through biting, scratches, or licks on fractured skin. The absence o...

Comparative Study of Field-Effect Transistors Based on Graphene Oxide and CVD Graphene in Highly Sensitive NT-proBNP Aptasensors

Graphene-based materials are actively being investigated as sensing elements for the detection of different analytes. Both graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and graphene oxide (GO) produced by the modified Hummers’ method ar...

The Infection Route of Tomato Zonate Spot Virus in the Digestive System of Its Insect Vector Frankliniella occidentalis

Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) is a phytopathogen of the genus Orthotospovirus (Bunyaviridae) that is widespread in many areas of Southwest China. TZSV is mainly transmitted by Frankliniella occidentalis, but its exact infection route rema...

The Relationship between Exercise and Salivary Oxidative Stress: A Systematic Review

Salivary content has been reported as a potential biomarker for oxidative stress assessments especially in context of exercise-induced oxidative stress. This systematic review following PRISMA guidelines aimed to evaluate the effects of phy...

Longevity of dental restorations in Sjogren’s disease patients using electronic dental and health record data

Abstract Background Decreased salivary secretion is not only a risk factor for carious lesions in Sjögren’s disease (SD) but also an indicator of deterioration of teeth with every restorative replacement. This study determined the longevity...
