The ability of photocatalysis to prevent the spread of viral infections has been revealed for the first time in animal experiments.
A research group consisting of Professor Ma and members from the University of Tokyo and Caltech Co., Ltd., led by Professor Ma,
We established a mouse infection model for influenza virus via aerosols, and titanium dioxide
Not only can the photocatalyst inactivate influenza viruses in aerosols, but the photocatalyst also...
It reduces the amount of influenza virus infecting the nasal turbinates and lungs, and causes lethal weight loss.
The study, published on April 4th in the academic journal "Catalysts," describes how all mice survived without being awakened.
