Early, specific, blood-based diagnostic for septic arthritis

— Technology Description:

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have identified blood-based cytokine signatures that could be used to specifically detect, distinguish and monitor septic arthritis, synovitis and osteomyelitis. This assay could enable timely, accurate treatment to avoid joi…

Low cost, versatile enzymatic synthesis of beta-lactone peptides for antibiotic or serine hydrolase inhibitor drug discovery

— Chemists from Washington University have discovered and characterized an enzyme pathway that could be harnessed as an efficient platform to produce peptide beta-lactone libraries for drug discovery. Beta-lactones are a family of molecules with a structure similar to penicillin and therefore could po…
