The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical characteristics MPX offer meaningful insights into clinicopathology MPX. We recruited eight men who had sex with diagnosed based on positive results from Virus (MPXV)-specific polymerase chain reaction. Skin biopsies were obtained four selected lesions, including typical atypical lesions. Histopathological examinations solitary ulceration revealed infiltrating inflammatory cells predominantly composed plasma lymphocytes, forming a "sleeve" around superficial vessels dermis. These features might be misinterpreted as indicative cutaneous syphilis infection. Meanwhile, pustular lesions displayed central necrotic epidermis accompanied by perivascular infiltrate dominated neutrophils, well ballooning reticular degeneration keratinocytes. Additionally, multinucleated keratinocytes eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions known Guarnieri's bodies also observed. Importantly, represented pioneering report detection MPXV A29 A35 proteins in skin distinguishing it previous studies that focused detecting vaccinia virus protein. anti-MPXV antibody exhibited robust staining specifically within affected both adjacent hair follicles, thereby could contribute diagnosis MPX, especially for cases

In 2022, a global outbreak of Mpox (formerly monkeypox) occurred in various countries across Europe and America rapidly spread to more than 100 regions. The World Health Organization declared the be public health emergency international concern due rapid virus. Consequently, nations intensified their efforts explore treatment strategies aimed at combating infection its dissemination. Nevertheless, available therapeutic options for virus remain limited. So far, only few numbers antiviral compounds have been approved by regulatory authorities. Given high mutability virus, certain mutant strains shown resistance existing pharmaceutical interventions. This highlights urgent need develop novel drugs that can combat both drug potential threat bioterrorism. Currently, there is lack comprehensive literature on pathophysiology Mpox. To address this issue, we conducted review covering physiological pathological processes infection, summarizing latest progress anti-Mpox drugs. Our analysis encompasses currently employed clinical settings, as well newly identified small-molecule antibody displaying efficacy against Furthermore, gained valuable insights from process development, including repurposing drugs, discovery targets driven artificial intelligence, preclinical development. purpose provide readers with overview current knowledge

To effectively address crisis emergence of new virus such as monkeypox, a collective and collaborative effort between scientists, engineers, innovators, artists from all ages, regions, diverse fields is required. This review explores holistic approach to addressing the monkeypox by integrating nanobiosensors, artificial intelligence, visual arts, humanities, social sciences. Traditional diagnostic methods are often limited time, accessibility, accuracy, but advancement point‐of‐care smart nanobiosensors offers promising shift toward rapid, precise, accessible diagnostics. They enhance ability screen, diagnose, monitor infections efficiently, contributing better disease management. Beyond technological innovation, essential role sciences in fostering public engagement, understanding, acceptance tools emphasized. Visual arts can illustrate scientific concepts, making them more relatable, while storytelling through various media reduce stigma promote preventive measures. Social provide insights into cultural attitudes, behaviors, health challenges, ensuring that solutions integrated communities. By combining these disciplines, this presents comprehensive framework for resilient global system aligns with One Health principles, emphasizing interconnectedness human, animal, environmental health.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a zoonotic virus with high contagion and mortality rates. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are ubiquitously expressed on the surface of mammalian cells. Owing to its negatively charged property, heparan (HS) host cells used by many viruses as cofactor facilitate viral attachment initiate cellular entry. Therefore, inhibition interaction between HS could be promising target inhibit infection. In current study, receptor-binding domain (RBD) MERS-CoV heparin was exploited assess inhibitory activity various sulfated glycans such glycosaminoglycans, marine-sourced (sulfated fucans, fucosylated chondroitin sulfates, fucoidans, rhamnan sulfate), pentosan polysulfate, mucopolysaccharide using Surface Plasmon Resonance. We believe this study provides valuable insights for development glycan-based inhibitors potential antiviral agents.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a close relative of the Variola (smallpox) virus, which was formerly prevalent throughout West and Central Africa. Nonetheless, instances have lately been verified outside Africa in several nonendemic nations. Considering COVID-19 pandemic, World Health Organization (WHO) defined recent monkeypox spread health emergency for public global significance on 23 July 2022. This worldwide community may be danger because increased number confirmed cases. The (MPXV), etiologic agent, isolated from diseased monkeys 1959, its pathogenicity humans first documented 1970s, primarily Western African endemic countries. But 2022, this disease shows extreme return at never-before-seen rate, raising concerns about communicative expansion non-endemic areas potential human-to-human transmission. Healthcare professionals, regulators general people around world must possess substantial expertise such relatively unknown viral diseases to mitigate situation. Here, thorough current pathogenesis overview, epidemiology clinical characteristics, along with therapy presented. review also covers future research fields, vaccine advancements preventive control methods reemerging that currently recognised as crisis health.

Abstract A global outbreak of monkeypox (mpox) caused by the mpox virus (MPXV) has posed a serious threat to public health worldwide, thus calling for urgent development antivirals and vaccines curb its further spread. In this study, we screened 41 anhydride‐modified proteins found that 3‐hydroxyphthalic β‐lactoglobulin (3HP‐β‐LG), clinically used anti‐HPV agent, was highly effective in inhibiting infection vaccinia Tiantan strain (VACV‐VTT) MPXV. Mechanistic studies demonstrated 3HP‐β‐LG bound virus, not host cell, targeting early stage entry, possibly through interaction between amino acids with negatively charges key positive target region A29L, surface protein synergistic effect observed when combined tecovirimat, small‐molecule antiviral drug approved United States Food Drug Administration European Medicine Agency treatment smallpox mpox.
