— Technology Description
A team of researchers at Washington University designed patented primers for a sensitive, specific, real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) assay to quickly detect enterovirus D68 (EV-D68).
EV-D68 is an emerging, highly contagious respiratory virus that can cause seve…

— This is a transgenic mouse line that expresses the Diphtheria toxin receptor in the myocardium of the mouse heart. Upon administration of Diphtheria toxin cardiomyocytes undergo rapid cell death and mice develop heart failure. This mouse line provides a simple a noninvasive method to model cardiac i…
