This study found that duloxetine and escitalopram exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, while buspirone had selective effects, and finasteride disrupted yeast virulence traits, suggesting these drugs could be repurposed as antimicrobial therapies.

In this study, researchers used a computational drug repurposing approach to identify FDA-approved drugs Dutasteride and Solifenacin as potential inhibitors of Listeria monocytogenes via binding to the virulence factor regulator PrfA, suggesting they may offer new treatment strategies against multi-drug resistant strains.

In this study, researchers found that pigs with genetically disrupted ANTXR1 were resistant to Senecavirus A infection, showing no clinical symptoms, and provided a model for human GAPO syndrome, while confirming ANTXR1 as a receptor for the virus.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

In this study involving a murine skin infection model, researchers found that the Trichophyton mentagrophytes strain TIMM 2789, specific to rodents, induced typical symptoms of superficial dermatophytosis, while revealing that the fungal gene SUB6 is not essential for virulence.

This study found that cepharanthine significantly inhibits EqHV-8 infection in vitro and improves lung tissue pathology in infected mice by reducing oxidative stress through specific signaling pathways, suggesting its potential as a treatment for equid herpesvirus type 8.

This narrative review suggests that intermediate filaments like vimentin and keratin play a significant role in various stages of viral infection, presenting potential antiviral intervention targets.

This review examines the role of cholesterol metabolism in coronavirus infections, discussing its potential as a target for antiviral strategies and a marker for monitoring infection status, but presents no new results.

This study found that bis-benzylisoquinoline and Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, especially aromoline, show potential as antiviral agents, suggesting they could serve as foundations for developing new treatments against coronaviruses by enhancing the understanding of their structure-activity relationships.

This study by Kyung et al. found a significant association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and an increased risk of developing alopecia areata in long COVID patients, with COVID-19 severity and vaccination status impacting this risk.

This abstract describes various hair and nail changes associated with HIV infection, highlighting telogen effluvium and onychomycosis as common manifestations, while noting that treatment for onychomycosis does not differ between HIV-infected and non-infected individuals.

This study demonstrated that the highly divergent WDSV rv-cyclin significantly stimulates eukaryotic cell proliferation, leading to hyperplastic skin lesions in transgenic mice.

This case report describes a rare instance of successful treatment of feline leishmaniosis in a cat, with noted nephrotoxic effects possibly linked to long-term allopurinol use.

This article reviews the genetic diversity, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and prevention strategies of feline calicivirus in domestic cats, but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of vaccination and proper hygiene.

In this case report, a 36-year-old patient undergoing secukinumab treatment for psoriasis experienced both hepatitis B reactivation and hair discoloration, suggesting a potential link between these effects, though further studies are needed to understand this relationship.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding Merkel cell carcinoma biology, including the development of genetically-engineered mouse models and potential therapeutic targets, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses long-term health impacts and physiological disruptions experienced by COVID-19 survivors, highlighting the potential of nutritional interventions to manage post-acute sequelae and metabolic complications.

This study found that biliverdin beta and delta, metabolites of heme, play a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa iron acquisition and cooperative behaviors, which are crucial for the bacterium's long-term infection in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting potential targets for new therapies.

This review discusses recent advances in monophosphate prodrug strategies for HCV drug discovery, aiming to enhance oral absorption and stability, and reports no new clinical results.

Dermatologists should watch for skin symptoms in COVID-19 patients, prioritize urgent cases, and use telemedicine.

In this study, researchers reported that a newly developed interferon-γ release assay for cell-mediated immunity to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid peptides demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, making it a robust tool for routine diagnostic tests and potentially useful in predicting clinical outcomes after pathogen re-exposure.

This study observed that SARS-CoV-2 shedding significantly decreased after remdesivir treatment, irrespective of RT-PCR cycle threshold values, suggesting early de-isolation might be possible in severe COVID-19 cases.

This study found that in lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B patients, tenofovir significantly reduced HBV DNA levels faster and more consistently than adefovir, reaching undetectable levels in all treated patients by 44 weeks.

In this study, researchers successfully established immortalized human frontal and occipital scalp dermal papilla cell lines from androgenetic alopecia patients, observing distinct gene expression, androgen receptor levels, and hair follicle growth effects between these regions, which may help advance hair loss research and therapeutic development.

This study found no SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the semen and urine of a COVID-19 patient, suggesting possible viral clearance or absence in these fluids.

This review covers the history and development of CRISPR-Cas9 technology, highlighting its groundbreaking applications and the ethical concerns surrounding its use in human germline editing.

This article discusses the potential link between genetic variants associated with androgen receptor activity and racial variations in COVID-19 mortality, suggesting a possible role for anti-androgens in treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of endolysosomes in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 pathogenesis, and explores potential therapeutic strategies targeting these cellular structures, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review concluded that monoclonal antibodies are currently the most effective treatment for COVID-19, with potential efficacy of high-titer convalescent plasma when used early, while multiple other drugs require further evaluation to determine their effectiveness.
