T-019079
— Technology Description Researchers in Prof. Jeffrey Henderson’s laboratory have developed a method of analyzing metabolic biomarkers from fecal samples to more accurately identify C. difficile infection (CDI) and distinguish between symptomatic and asymptomatic colonization. CDI is currently …
A novel modulator of tumor angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunityKrchma, Karen ; Kabir, Ashraf Ul ; Choi, Kyunghee
T-019294
— Technology Description Researchers in Kyunghee Choi’s lab at Washington University in St. Louis have identified a novel target, Myct1, that modulates tumor angiogenesis and anti-tumor immune response. Myct1 inhibition with siRNA blocks angiogenesis and promotes infiltration of cytotoxic T ly…
Hydrogels for localized radiotherapyde la Puente Garcia, Maria del Pilar ; Azab, Feda ; Azab, Abdel Kareem
T-013626
— Background External Beam Radiotherapy (EBR) is commonly used after surgical removal of a tumor (in e.g. a breast-conserving surgery) to control or kill malignant cells. The lack of selectivity due to irradiation of whole or partial organs from outside the body, however, is potentially damaging to t…
