Pharmacological Activation of the cAMP Signaling Pathway Enhances the Function of Cord Blood – Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation is a curative therapy for many blood disorders, including leukemias and inherited blood diseases. It involves depleting a patient’s diseased bone marrow by cytotoxic therapies and then regenerating a healthy hematopoietic system by transplantation of healthy Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). UNMET NEED Cord blood is an attractive source for stem […] Read More >
Enhancing Plasmid Conjugation Efficiency for Transformative Biotechnological Applications
This technology enhances plasmid-based gene transfer by utilizing a leading region enriched with anti-defense genes. It enables more efficient overcoming of bacterial immune systems, improving applications in biotechnology and microbial engineering. ABSTRACT Our groundbreaking technology dramatically improves plasmid-based gene transfer by utilizing a strategically designed leading region enriched with anti-defense genes. We revealed that the […] Read More >
Development Of Improved Immunosuppressant Targeting Calcineurin-NFAT Protein-Protein Interaction Via Novel Peptides
Modern drugs are molecules that interfere with the activity of a specific protein related to a target disease. Within this realm, new molecules capable of interfering with protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are in the heart of modern drug discovery. However, the discovery or de-novo design of new molecules is often hampered by the lack of structural […] Read More >
Anti-Influenza A Virus Drug Discovery
Influenza A virus infection is one of the most common respiratory tract diseases in humans. It is the cause of typical seasonal flu as well as major human pandemics worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2023, around 3 to 5 million severe influenza cases were recorded, leading to 290,000 to 650,000 […] Read More >
Evaluation of Single Strand DNA Damage in Sperm Using a novel Damage Detection Technique
The Damage Detection technique is an innovative approach to assessing Single Strand DNA (ssDNA) damage by utilizing DNA repair enzymes to identify DNA adducts and single-strand breaks. Spermatozoa are characterized by high levels of DNA fragmentation, despite their condensed nuclear DNA packaging. Sublethal DNA damage, such as single strand breaks and adducts, can occur and […] Read More >
3D Printing of 3-Layered Retina and Choroid Tissue
We present a sequential fabrication of a three-layer retina-like structure. This innovative approach aims to address the challenges associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other retinal degenerative diseases by creating a bioengineered retinal implant that mimics the natural structure and function of the human retina. Unmet Need: Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause […] Read More >
‘Super-Seaweeds’ Enriched with Nutritional and Health Compounds
The world population is growing and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. The increasing awareness of alternative natural products has led to a growing demand for plant-based goods. Currently, there’s an urgent need to enhance Earth’s capacity to support the expanding human population and address the depletion of natural resources. Humanity seeks a […] Read More >
Skewed Sex Ratio Technology for Livestock and Pets: Reducing Resource Wastage and Labor in Animal Breeding
Our innovative genetic engineering technology offers a transformative solution for livestock and pet industries by generating offspring with a skewed sex ratio. The technology, proven in mice, is now aimed at practical application in cattle, swine, poultry, and other farm animals, as well as pets. The Problem: Current breeding practices lead to significant waste due […] Read More >
An Improved Fast-Growing Halophilic haloarchaeon Strain
The Challenge: Halophilic archaea (HA) are ideal for biotechnological processes because they thrive in extreme conditions, requiring minimal sterility and no freshwater. However, unlike other microorganisms like fungi, algae, and bacteria, HA are underutilized in large-scale biotechnology. Currently, HA are mostly used for producing carotenoids, like bacterioruberin, and other high-value compounds. The primary species used, […] Read More >
New Formulation for Repurposing of a Drug to Treat Retinitis Pigmentosa
Heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding the RNA splicing factor pre-mRNA processing factor 31 (PRPF31) have been identified as a major cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a debilitating and currently incurable blinding disease. The severity and progression of RP vary significantly among patients, with some carriers remaining asymptomatic. Intriguingly, asymptomatic mutation carriers exhibit […] Read More >
