Ubukhulu besikhunta bucishe bufane nezinhlayiyana ze-coronavirus, futhi buncane izikhathi eziyi-1,000 XNUMX kunezinwele zomuntu. Kodwa-ke, ama-nanoparticles asanda kwakhiwa athuthukiswe ososayensi eNyuvesi yaseNingizimu Australia ayasebenza ekwelapheni isikhunta esingazweli emthini.

I-nanobiotechnology entsha (ebizwa ngokuthi "ama-micelles") eyakhiwe ngokubambisana neNyuvesi yaseMonash inamandla angavamile okulwa nesinye sezifo zefungal ezihlaselayo nezimelana nezidakamizwa-i-Candida albicans. Zombili ziheha futhi zixoshe uketshezi, okuzenza zilungele ukulethwa kwezidakamizwa.

I-Candida albicans imvubelo engosomathuba, eyingozi kakhulu kubantu abanamasosha omzimba asengozini, ikakhulukazi labo abasesibhedlela. I-Candida albicans ikhona ezindaweni eziningi futhi idume kabi ngokumelana nemithi elwa namagciwane. Yimbangela evame kakhulu yokutheleleka kwefungal emhlabeni futhi ingabangela izifo ezimbi kakhulu ezithinta igazi, inhliziyo, ubuchopho, amehlo, amathambo nezinye izingxenye zomzimba.

Omunye wabacwaningi uDkt. Nicky Thomas uthe ama-micelles amasha enze intuthuko ekwelapheni izifo ezikhuntayo ezihlaselayo.

Lawa ma-micelles anekhono eliyingqayizivele lokuncibilikisa futhi athwebule uchungechunge lwezidakamizwa ezibalulekile ze-antifungal, ngaleyo ndlela athuthukise kakhulu ukusebenza kwawo nokusebenza kwawo.

Kungokokuqala ngqa ukuthi kudalwe ama-polymer micelles anamandla okuvimba ukwakheka kwama-biofilms esikhunta.

Ngenxa yokuthi imiphumela yethu ibonise ukuthi ama-micelles amasha azoqeda izifo ezingafika ku-70%, lokhu kungase kushintshe ngempela imithetho yegeyimu yokwelapha izifo zesikhunta.
