Abstract for Supplement ApplicationThe ultimate goal for our original project was to complete the proof-of-concept work, and the multitude of pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, toxicokinetic, safety, and toxicology studies required by the FDA to apply for an IND. We are fully satisfied that we have generated a new chemical entity that acts at a novel binding site on the GABA-A receptor and acts in ...

The myCare2 solution will be marketed to cancer care organizations and include three separate portals for cancer caregivers, patients and providers. The system will be mobile-enabled and support standards-based EHR integration. Primary myCare2 features include symptom assessment, communication with the care team, care plan dissemination, tailored education content for caregiving and for caregiver ...

CU Aerospace (CUA) and team partners San Jose St. University (SJSU) and Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (LMSSC) propose to develop a robust epoxy resin regenerator capable of improving cryocooler efficiency by more than 30%, and to design an enhanced compressor motor capable of improving the cryocooler efficiency by more than 20%. LMSSC manufactures a space cryocooler that already meets most ...
