Application

  • Polyvinyl alcohol coating releasing fungal blastospores improves kill effect of attract-and-kill beads: This study evaluates the use of different types of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), including Mowiol® 8-88, for developing fungal blastospore coatings that enhance pest control efficacy (KM Hermann et al., 2023, Springer).
  • Biodegradable nanoparticles made of amino-acid-based ester polymers: Discusses the use of Mowiol 8-88 in the preparation of biodegradable nanoparticles, analyzing their stability and aggregation properties (T Kantaria et al., 2016, MDPI).

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) enters hepatocytes following a complex set of receptor interactions, culminating in internalization via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. However, aside from receptors, little is known about the cellular molecular requirements for infectious HCV entry. Therefore, we analyzed a siRNA
