Novel Channelrhodopsins for Optogenetics Gene Therapy (CCRs and KCRs)

When expressed in targeted neurons, light-sensitive channelrhodopsin proteins (ChRs) have the ability to selectively manipulate neuronal activity in a light-dependent manner. Kalium (potassium)-conducting channelrhodopsins (KCRs) have the potential for optogenetic applications and as therapeutic agents for electrically active cell mediated disorders,...

Compositions and Methods for Long-Term in Vitro Culture Of The Syphilis Spirochete.

Background Syphilis is a multistage sexually transmitted infection of world-wide importance, with an estimated 5.6 million new cases per year. Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, was first identified by Schaudinn and Hoffman in 1905, but in the past researchers have been unable to maintain T. pallidum viability or multiplication beyond...

Di-functional Hyaluronic Acid for Tissue Engineering

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a polysaccharide that is expressed in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of all vertebrate tissues, contributing to the development of cells in tissue. HA based hydrogels are useful tools in tissue engineering as the HA can be modified with bioactive peptides to facilitate the growth, differentiation and attachment of stem cells...

Targeting Tumors by Pattern Recognition: A Paradigm shift in Targeted Therapeutics

Market: The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 500,000 people will die from cancer in the U.S. in 2007. Many cancer deaths, specifically from cancers of the colon, breast, rectum, and uterine cervix cancers, could be significantly reduced with earlier detection and improved therapy. Cancer treatment of the 15 most common cancers accounted...
