Here’s something to chew: Antiviral chewing gum. Scientists developed the flu virus and gum that trapped viruses caused by herpes.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a gum made of dental school and bean powder. In different practices, two flu sushes and Herpes Simplex viruses found in chewing gum 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2). Chewing gum can prove to be strong and easy to use to prevent spreading of these infections.
Penn researchers have been working on antiviral chewing gum for some time. They are a few years ago they developed In Sars-Cov-2-2-Covid-19, chewing gum from plant-based material that can effectively trap the cause of the saliva. Their latest creation rely on a similar approach, but is a different plant eaten in local and tropical areas for sub-Sahara Africa: Lablab helpLablab is also known as beans. Have past research honest LABLAB Beans naturally carry a protein that can connect to different viruses. This protein is called Frill for a lectin or short associated with the FLT3 receptor.
Researchers incubated flu samples along with HSV-1 and HSV-2. They used a mechanical mouth if the chewing is released enough to be released during chewing to chew and reach these levels. To reduce more than 95% of these viruses, two grams of beans containing 40 millia bean powders have not been enough.
“These observations are in a good way to evaluate beans in human clinical studies to minimize the viral infection / transmission” scientists ” write Molecular Theory explains the work published in the magazine.
The team’s research is still in the early stages, but they have created chewing gum because of the FDA properties for drugs – an important step for something intended to prevent infections. They also found the gum would remain stable and safe to chew for at least two years.
Antiviral medications are currently available for both the flu vaccine, but also for the flu and herpes, but there are restrictions. Today’s influenza vaccine, for example, may prevent violent infections, but it is not very reliable when preventing from transferring to others. Antiviral medications for herpes can reduce the risk of passing to others, but many people often do not know that there is herpes due to lack of symptoms. Herpes can be spread out of saliva without creating disease (this is common in someone’s genital oral bodies). There are no vaccines for the type of herpes virus.
Thus, researchers hoping to chew gum can be a novel and effective delivery system to prevent transmission of viruses such as flu and HSV-1/2. We also plan to try to prevent the spread of bird feed between the frill and the spread of bird flu among poultry.
“The transfer of viruses continues to be a major global problem. It is not natural food viruses but not the flu of birds (birds), but also the flu of birds (bird) statement from the university.
He personally speaks, I wouldn’t think to keep the gum stick in the winter to protect his relatives to avoid taking the flu infection – I hope it should not taste like a bean.
