Antiviral Potential of Nanoparticles-Can Nanoparticles Fight Against Coronaviruses?

TL;DR: This review discusses viral mechanisms of entry into host cells and then details the major and important types of nanomaterials that could be used as antiviral agents, including silver, gold, quantum dots, organic nanoparticles, liposomes, dendrimers and polymers.

Porous gold nanoparticles for attenuating infectivity of influenza A virus

TL;DR: Porous gold nanoparticles fabricated via a surfactant-free emulsion method exhibited strong affinity for disulfide bonds due to gold–thiol interactions, and provided extensive surface area for these interactions, which confirmed that PoGNP successfully inhibited viral membrane fusion by blocking the viral entry process through conformational deformation of HA.

Controlled nucleation for the regulation of the particle size in monodisperse gold suspensions

G. Frens
- 01 Jan 1973 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a series of monodisperse suspensions of the same chemical composition but of rather different particle sizes was used to study particle size dependent phenomena, such as Brownian motion, light scattering, sedimentation and electrophoresis of small particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 seroprevalence in the United States.

TL;DR: Declines in HSV-2 seroprevalence in the United States in 1999-2004 are shown, suggesting that the trajectory of increasing HSVs simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and HSVs type 2 serop revalences in theUnited States has been reversed.

Understanding the role of surface charges in cellular adsorption versus internalization by selectively removing gold nanoparticles on the cell surface with a I2/KI etchant.

TL;DR: An etching solution based on I2 and KI that can selectively dissolve the Au nanospheres on the cell surface within a short period of time is introduced that is capable of etching away a relatively large amount of Au Nanospheres at a low molar concentration.
