Treatment of Tissue Fibrosis
Itaconate and itaconate analogues capable of inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase can be used to treat or prevent tissue fibrosis.
Microbiome therapeutics to inhibit the growth of CRE and VRE
A proposed microbiome therapeutic against CRE and VRE, comprising a synthetic microbial consortium and inhibitory metabolites.
Detection and monitoring of COPD severity with wearable photoplethysmography
A wearable, non-invasive point of care tool to diagnose and monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) severity
Method for sorting cells based on avidity interactions
A microfluidic device designed to accelerate the development of T-cell immunotherapies for cancer.
Centrifugal Compressor Inlet Duct Device for Improved Flow Range
Innovative compressor inlet invention which increases compressor flow range with use of an inlet duct that pre-swirls inlet flow of turbocharger compressor.
Fast warm stamping of ultra-high strength steel sheets
A novel fast warm forming method which improves the manufacturing productivity of high-strength metal sheet parts
A noise-reduction protocol for EPR/NMR and quantum sensing
A novel cooling technique to improve the speed and sensitivity of RF measurements. The technique allows quantum measurements to be performed with room-temperature equipment, as well as more sensitive and quicker EPR and NMR measurements.
