BRET-based biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 oligonucleotide detection by Asfia Sultana (19170880)

“…Specifically, we designed BioODs against the SARS-CoV-2 parental (Wuhan strain) and B.1.617.2 Delta variant through the conjugation of specific, fluorescently modified molecular beacons (sensor module) through a complementary oligonucleotide handle DNA functionalized with the NanoLuc (NLuc) luciferase protein such that the dissolution of the molecular beacon loop upon the binding of the viral oligonucleotide will result in a decrease in BRET efficiency and, thus, a change in the bioluminescence spectra. …”

Emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults by Kabbara, Wissam K.

“…Results from two phase 3 randomized double blind trials (ECHO and THRIVE) showed that rilpivirine is non-inferior to efavirenz in suppressing viral load below 50 copies/mL in anti-retroviral therapy (ART) naïve human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. In addition, psychiatric disturbances, rash and increase in lipid levels occurred less frequently with rilpivirine when compared to efavirenz. …”

Stress induced immunomodulation and the risk of infections during major sporting events: Implications for the FIFA World Cup 2022 by Muna T. Abed Alah (17863853)

“…Moreover, the engagement in certain high-risk behaviors as stress coping strategies to escape stress such as excessive alcohol drinking, high-risk sexual behaviors can also modify immune processes and impact vulnerability to infections. Identity fusion and the extent to which football fans are deeply connected to their team can also modify the stress response system activation and cortisol hormone release as one study showed higher cortisol levels over the course of a World Cup match among the most fused. …”
