ABSTRACT Traditional mon therapeutictarget driven approaches to drug development for Alzheimer s diseaseADare becoming increasingly expensive and in many cases disappointingly unsuccessfulBased on preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies we have identified a novel small moleculemethyldimethyloxodihydrobenzo cnaphthyridinecarboxylateBNCthat significantly decreases neuroinflammation and production o ...

Project SummaryPost stroke hand impairment is highly prevalent and severely restricts functional ability and independenceIn facteveryseconds a new stroke occursand stroke is recognized as the leading cause of long term disabilityYetthere is no assistive device to help hand function at homeevery dayduring activities of daily livingExisting devices such as hand opening orthoses are expensivee gMyomo ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Probiotics hold enormous potential for promoting human health and treating disease One major hurdle to many probiotic products is their lack of persistence in the gut Monon Bioventures MBV and their research partners at the Research Institute at Nationwide Childrenandapos s Hospital RINCH are developing a novel enhanced tunable technology called ProNextTM that allows for a ...

PROJECT SUMMARY The drug development pipeline is plagued by unacceptable rates of attrition due in large part to toxicities that are not identified in pre clinical stages of developmentThe ability to de risk lead compounds during pre clinical development with advancedorganoid on a chiptechnologies shows tremendous promiseDrug induced neurotoxicity is caused by off target effects of pharmaceuticals ...

Cost-effective application of advanced commercial electronics technologies in DoD space systems requires early development of radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) techniques, and use of simulations is critical to the efficiency of this process. CFDRC has developed an integrated, mixed-mode simulation approach allowing their NanoTCAD device physics simulator to interface with commercial circuit simu ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Type diabetes T D is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects of population worldwide Exogenous insulin treatment is the standard of care for T D but often negatively affects the quality of life and is ineffective in preventing recurrent hyperglycemia episodes and chronic complications Recent studies show that human islet allografts can restore long term normoglycemia ...

Project Abstract Acute infectious diarrhea is a worldwide problem especially among infants young children and immune compromised patients Sadly million children die each year not because of the infections causing diarrhea but due to the associated dehydration The pro absorptive Oral Rehydration Solution ORS is the only recommended oral therapy for children with acute diarrhea yet it ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Up to of low birth weight preterm infants manifest some form of periventricular white matter injury PWMI making it the most common form of brain injury affecting premature infants In the US infants per year are born at risk for PWMI and about children per year will develop PWMI World wide infants will be born each year at ri ...

Terrorist use of radioactive nuclear materials via nuclear and/or radiological dispersion devices (dirty bombs) is a serious threat. Therefore, it is critical to detect the proliferation of nuclear material. Critical challenges facing this objective include: (a) high sensitivity detection of signature emissions (e.g., gamma rays) from common radioactive isotopes behind shielding, and (b) cost-effe ...
