Peptides responsible for Type 1 diabetes

— Technology Description:

Researchers in the lab of Emil Unanue at Washington University have discovered a panel of peptides responsible for autoimmune activation in Type 1 diabetes and potentially capable of diagnosing T1D at an early stage. These peptide fragments of insulin are found circulating …

Photothermal disinfection of N95 respirators

— Technology Description

A team of researchers led by Young-Shin Jun have developed a polymer coating for N95 respirators that would permit fast, easy, and cheap N95 disinfection using only direct sunlight. The researchers coated the outermost fabric layer in polydopamine, which converts photon energ…

Simple, universal DNA motifs for modulating protein production

— Technology Description

Researchers in Prof. Sergej Djuranovic’s laboratory have discovered short DNA coding motifs that can increase or decrease expression of recombinant proteins by 3-4 orders of magnitude in a variety of organisms. Together, these universal tools can provide tightly contro…
