Collagen Matrix Possessing Locally Controllable Internal and Surface Mineral ContentThomopoulos, Stavros ; Smith, Lester
T-013230
— Background: Tissue engineered scaffold repair materials are currently modified with surface mineralization with simulated body fluids (SBF) of collagen provide a lower stiffness than desired in biosynthetic entheses and fail to replicate the naturally graded structure of the human connective tissue …
Multifunctional chemical agents for metal chelation, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, fluorescence imaging, and amyloid plaque clearance in Alzheimer’s diseaseSharma, Anuj ; Schultz, Jason ; Mirica, Liviu
T-013190
— Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid plaques containing the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide. Currently, no treatment is available for AD. Metal ion interactions of the Aβ peptide are believed to help formation of toxic aggregates. Developing chemical compo…
A microRNA expression signature for the prognosis of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomaWang, Xiaowei
T-012911
— Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) rates have increased significantly in recent years, and because of the different underlying causes of the disease no single treatment regime seems to be advantageous over another. Currently, the prognosis of OSCC is based on clinical features of the OSCC…
Photon tunnelingAn, Woo Jin ; Wang, Lihong
T-012515
— Photon tunneling has the potential to guide light to the core of a human body in vivo. Imaging, sensing, and therapy are among the applications for this technology. Light, as opposed to potentially harmful x-rays, is an ideal non-ionizing radiation for imaging and treating biological tissue, however…
Decision support process for cerebral aneurysm pattern recognition in microsurgical/endovascular decision support systemWashington, Chad ; Ju, Tao ; Dacey, Ralph
T-012982
— Cerebral Aneurysms are weak areas in the wall of a blood vessel causing it to bulge out. These aneurysms can take on many sizes, shapes, and be in different locations. Currently cerebral angiographies, spinal tap, CT or MRI are used to diagnose cerebral aneurysm. Treatment options are chosen by a do…
Novel Murine AstrovirusesWang, David ; Yokoyama, Christine ; Zhao, Guoyan ; Stappenbeck, Thaddeus ; Thackray, Larissa ; Loh, Joy ; Virgin, Herbert
T-012077
— Background: Mice are critical animal models for scientists investigating both basic and applied research principles. Several novel murine astroviruses have been identified in mouse facility at Washington University School of Medicine. Astroviruses are RNA viruses often associated with gastrointestin…
Radiation Oncology Dashboards (LATTICE)Scholle, Glen ; Santanam, Lakshmi ; Mutic, Sasa ; Danieley, Jonathan ; LaBrash, Jason
T-014089
— Software management tool for clinic business manager & coordination tool. Collects information on patient flow, treatment plans, machine availability and personnel to optimize clinic operations.
Optical Resolution Photoacoustic Imaging Device for Port-Wine StainsRao, Bin ; Maslov, Konstantin ; Wang, Lihong
T-012585
— A photoacoustic tomography device that provides high optical absorption contrast with high lateral resolution, including very good melanin distribution images, for port wine stain birthmarks.
The novel effects of NAD-related compounds (nicotinamide, nicotinamide mononucleotide & NAD) on blood glucose levels.Revollo, Javier ; Imai, Shin-Ichiro
T-005815
— The novel effects of NAD-related compounds (nicotinamide, nicotinamide mononucleotide & NAD) on blood glucose levels.
