Veye AI-Based Non-Invasive Blood Test for Remote Care
The Clinical Need: Non-invasive blood testing for remote care • Blood count test is the most common clinical test routinely done in billions of patients,• Blood sampling procedure has not significantly changed over a century, requiring an invasive bloodcollection under sterile conditions and laboratory analysis.• Limited accessibility and testing frequency may be life-threatening• Highly invasive […] Read More >
Using Eye-Tracking in VR to Identify Subject Preferences to Optimize Personalization
The implementation of virtual reality (VR) has been spreading in many research fields and healthcare applications. In order to better personalize the presented content, there is a need to identify the subjective experience at each time point. Previous studies with eye-tracking (ET) have demonstrated its links to preferences; therefore, collecting ET data during VR experiences […] Read More >
Spatially Targeted Transfection of Mammalian Cells
Mammalian cell transfection with DNA, RNA, small molecules, and proteins is a widely used molecular biology technique. The primary method of cell transfection is electropermeabilization, which increases the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing chemicals, drugs or DNA to be introduced into the cell. Bulk electroporation has been used for DNA transfection in suspension cells […] Read More >
Jellyfish׳ Collagen-Based Smart Wound Dressing with Antibacterial Properties
Collagen-based dressing in wounds greatly benefits the healing process. Unfortunately, most collagen is extracted from bovine tissues, which bears a significant risk of transmitting various biological contaminations. Moreover, the collagen extraction process from bovine tissue involves time and cost-consuming steps, reducing the total collagen yield and increasing the overall cost of goods. In addition, the […] Read More >
Repurposing FDA-Approved Drugs for the Treatment of Aniridia
Aniridia is a panocular disease causing progressive severe visual impairment and blindness. The disease is characterized by abnormal development of almost all eye structures, caused by dominantly inherited heterozygous mutations in primarily the PAX6 gene. Although aniridia is a developmental disorder, corneal opacification begins late in childhood, leaving a large time window for therapy. Unfortunately, […] Read More >
Anti-Oxidation Agent to be Incorporated Into Cosmetics Leading to More Stable and Longer Shelf-Life Products
Oxidation is the reaction of Oxygen with a wide array of reactants. In cosmetics, product oxidation leads to spoilage of ingredients used in the manufacturing products, the inactivation of oxygen-sensitive enzymes, shortening of product shelf-life, and discolorations of end-product. Self-assembling peptide-based hydrogels are simple hydrogels that can be combined with a wide variety of ingredients […] Read More >
Oxygen-Scavenging Peptide Hydrogel for Enzyme Protection
Unmet Need: • O2-sensitive enzymes like [FeFe]-hydrogenase lose activity within seconds of ambient air exposure, severely limiting their industrial and sustainable energy applications • Lack of passive protection methods: Existing O2 protection technologies require continuous energy investment or complex systems to maintain anaerobic conditions The technology: • FmocFF peptide hydrogel: Self-assembling fluorenyl-methyloxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine forms 3D nanofibrillar […] Read More >
Culturing a plurality of cell types on a 3D-printed microfluidic chip
Organ-on-a-Chip platforms provide rich opportunities to observe interactions between different cell types under in vivo-like conditions. Co-culturing and the application of flow and other mechanical forces organoids, mimic 3D tissue structure and greatly enrich the data collection from such platforms. ‘Insert-chip’ is a cost-efficient, reusable, modular organ-on-a-chip platform that allows co-culturing and overcome scientific data […] Read More >
Novel Anti-Tumor Response treatment targeting ErbB receptors and Nucleolin interactions
ErbBs subfamily receptors are mediators of cell growth signals. They have long been associated with a wide variety of lung, ovarian, colon, breast, prostate, and other carcinomas. Nucleolin is a major nucleolar protein of growing eukaryotic cells and is present on the cell surface of a range of cancers. Recently, a robust oncogenic interaction between […] Read More >
Fuels and other valuable compounds from biomass and agricultural wastes using Hydrothermal Liquefaction
• The growth of human population increases both the overall energy demand and the environmental footprint in the form of a massive production of waste. • Currently energy production and waste treatment are viewed as two separate issues. To change this perspective, the synergy of organic waste conversion and energy production should be developed.• Various […] Read More >
