Technology DMSO-Enhanced CO2 Capture and Conversion System for Efficient Syngas Production A DMSO-based system uses an amine and salt to capture CO2 from industrial off-gas and electrochemically converts it into efficient syngas, offering improved performance over water-based methods. The Unmet Need:…
Technology A Telescoping Catheter System for Angiography of the Left Internal Mammary Artery From a Right Transradial Approach Pedicled left internal mammary artery (LIMA) bypass grafts are performed in over 90% of coronary artery bypass graft surgeries. The grafted vasculature potentially requires future angiographic surveillance or catheterization, with…
Technology Low-loss Niobium Josephson Junctions That Improve Quantum Device Performance SUMMARY The invention introduces a method for fabricating low-loss niobium Josephson junctions which enhance quantum device performance by using niobium superconductors that are separated by an aluminum oxide barrier and…
Technology A Micro-RNA Approach for the Treatment of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 6 (SCA6) Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a rare, dominantly inherited disease that causes Purkinje cell degradation and results in: loss of coordination, tremors, and uncoordinated muscle movement. Current therapies only…
Technology Thermonobodies: A Novel Thermostable FN3 Binding Protein Scaffold Monobodies are synthetic binding proteins based off a human fibronectin type 3 (FN3) scaffold that have demonstrated their utility in applications such as the modification of enzyme specificity and therapeutics…
Technology Activity-responsive Split RNA Polymerase Platform for Biosensors and Gene Therapy An understanding of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is critical to uncovering new disease pathophysiology and for developing small molecule and antibody treatments. Problematically, current approaches to assay PPIs are limited by…
Technology FOXP3 Stapled Peptides to Deactivate Regulatory T Cells Regulatory T cells (Tregs) modulate immune function by preventing autoreactive T cell responses, including those that would normally target cancer cells. Treg activity can significantly limit the efficacy of immunotherapies…
Technology Functionalized Metal Carbides For Energy Storage The invention is a novel synthetic approach for surface modification of two-dimensional (2D) metal carbides (MXenes) using molten inorganic salts. Surface modification of MXenes have been hypothesized to affect material…
Technology Next-Generation Activity-Based Radiotracer For In Vivo Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging And Therapy Cancer cells show alterations in metabolism that support malignancy and disease progression. Prominent among these metabolic changes is elevations in neutral ether lipids (NELs). The lipid hydrolase neutral cholesterol ester…
