Vaccines for the Pathogenic Fungus Cryptococcus Neoformans via Nasal Inoculation
— Cryptococcus fungi are pathogenic fungi that, unless treated, are invariably fatal to those individuals infected, particularly to those who are immunocompromised. Recent reports indicate that Cryptococcus fungi infects 1,000,000 individuals per year and causes approximately 600,000 deaths. While ant…
Ultra-Rare Variant Detection using Next Generation Sequencing
— Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) allows rapid sequencing of an individual’s entire genome or portions of the genome to identify thousands of genetic variants. Personalized genomic tests based on NGS technologies can be used to predict an individual’s risk of disease or monitor disease pr…
Natriuretic Peptide-Mediated Imaging and/or Treatment of Atherosclerotic Plaque
— Background
Atherosclerosis is a disease process in which lipid deposition causes the formation of plaques that lead to thickening of the artery walls. The cause of a majority of fatal acute myocardial infarction and sudden coronary death is due to the rupture of soft or unstable plaques; however, t…
Modulation of the DLK/JNK Pathway as a Method for Inhibiting Axonal Degeneration
— Background: Axonal degeneration is a feature commonly associated with many neuropathological conditions including response to injury, exposure to neurotoxins, hereditary neuropathies, glaucoma, and neurodegenerative diseases. The degenerative process is active when neuronal insults trigger a self-de…
