Blue photobiomodulation LED therapy impacts SARS-CoV-2 by limiting its replication in Vero cells
( Wiley , 2021 , Other)The study of any intervention able to counteract SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is considerably envisaged. It was previously shown, in in vitro models of infections, that the LED blue light is able to decrease the viral load of HSV-1 ... -
Comparison between nucleic acid amplification tests, antigen immunofluorescence assay, and in vitro infectivity in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis.
( Springer , 2022 , Article)The number of SARS-CoV-2 detection tests requested to the laboratories has dramatically increased together with an urgent need to release reliable responses in a very short time. The two options taken into consideration ... -
Direct inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by low level blue photobiomodulation LED at 470, 454 and 450 nm.
( Wiley , 2022 , Article)Blue light has been already reported as able to counteract different types of microorganisms including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and viruses, especially the enveloped ones. It has been reported that ... -
Effect of Short Time of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Caco-2 Cells.
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) clinical manifestations include the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting around 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected children. In ... -
Evaluation of residual infectivity after SARS-CoV-2 aerosol transmission in a controlled laboratory setting
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, aerosols, or direct contact with fomites from an infected subject. It has been reported that SARS-CoV-2 ... -
Molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 from indoor air samples in environmental monitoring needs adequate temporal coverage and infectivity assessment
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The relevance of airborne exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments is a matter of research and debate, with special importance for healthcare low-risk settings. Experimental approaches to the bioaerosol sampling are ... -
Optimization of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Treatments Based on Curcumin, Used Alone or Employed as a Photosensitizer.
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Curcumin, the bioactive compound of the spice , has already been reported as a potential COVID-19 adjuvant treatment due to its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, SARS-CoV-2 was challenged ... -
Persistent viral infectivity after 27 days from COVID-19 symptoms onset
( BMJ Publishing Group , 2021 , Article)The persistence of SARS-CoV- 2 in pharyngeal swabs belonging to patients affected by COVID-19 is not a rare occurrence. Indeed, the viral load determined through real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR (rRT-PCR) test peaks at ... -
SARS-CoV-2 does not replicate in HaCaT spontaneously immortalized human keratinocytes: implications for the pathogenesis of COVID-19-associated skin manifestations
( John Libbey Eurotext , 2022 , Article)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related cutaneous manifestations have been reported [1], however, the direct or indirect role of SARS-CoV-2 infection in their pathophysiology is still debated ... -
SARS-CoV-2 RNA Recovery from Air Sampled on Quartz Fiber Filters: A Matter of Sample Preservation?
( MDPI , 2022 , Report)The airborne route of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 was confirmed by the World Health Organization in April 2021. There is an urge to establish standardized protocols for assessing the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in air ... -
SARS-CoV-2 Short-Time Infection Produces Relevant Cytopathic Effects in Vero E6 Cell Line.
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets from positive subjects to susceptible hosts or by direct contact with an infected individual. Our study ...
