An Adaptive, Language-Agnostic, and Generalizable Method to Determine the Hearing Level and Speech Perception Abilities of a Patient
This hearing test is tuned to a patient’s hearing level and changes based on performance to accurately diagnose hearing ability Problem: Currently, no single hearing evaluation can determine multiple facets of an individual’s hearing ability. For example, some tests may determine hearing awareness at specific frequencies, but gather no data...

Biomaterial-Based Vaccine Booster to Enhance Long-Term Immunity (UCLA Case No. 2021-170)
UCLA researchers have developed injectable, cell-free, and biomaterial-based microparticles that can engage with tissue resident immune cells and enhance long-term immunity. It is the first biomaterial-based, targeted approach to induce T memory stem cells (TMSCs) in vivo. The approach was demonstrated for SARS-CoV-2 but can be used for any vaccine....

In vitro Generation of an Autologous Thymic Organoid from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Abstract: The thymus is an integral part of the adaptive immune system as it generates T cells. Its function diminishes rapidly as the body ages, leading to a compromise of the immune system in the elderly. Reconstitution of adaptive immunity through mass production of different T cell types is therefore a therapeutic need in immunocompromised populations....

Method for Creating Super Resolution Medical Images
The deep learning algorithm retrospectively improves the resolution of routine medical images (e.g., CT, MRI, etc.) without the need for increased radiation or scan time. Technology: Clinical medical images often have low resolution due to radiation-dose or scan-time restrictions. Inventors developed a probabilistic deep learning model to improve...
