Thermotargetron for modifying thermophilic microorganisms
The Thermotargetron is a genetic tool for modifying thermophilic micro­organisms using a type-II intron element, TeI3c‑4c. It allows efficient gene inactivation across a broad host range without needing selection markers and can target short gene sequences. Background Renewable fuels like bioethanol are increasingly vital due to rising global...

Novel Methods for Reducing Inflammation and Treating Diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease
Microglia activation leads to inflammation mediated dopaminergic degeneration in the brain of patients with Parkinson and Alzheimer's Disease. Thus Identification of drugs that reduce microglia activation could prevent or reverse neuronal degeneration in these diseases and other degenerative CNS disorders. This invention describes small-peptide and...

Method for 3D Nonlinear Structured Illumination Super-resolution Imaging
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a super-resolution microscopy method that is faster, easier to use, and has less artifacts than current super-resolution methods. The result is a 3D dual-color stimulated emission depletion (STED) nonlinear structured illumination (NL-SIM) microscope. Using a combination of low coherent light and...

Wearable Device for Continuous Monitoring and Intelligent Intervening of Targeted Body Region
Traditional treatment for arthritis and other forms of localized inflammation requires the use of an ice pack. For those who suffer from arthritis, accessibility to a cold pack is limited by the need for constant refrigeration. Moreover, physicians do not have a method to continually monitor localized patient inflammation, and this hampers the treatment...

Vehicle safety device for active train crossing detection and driver notification
Most level railroad crossings in the United States do not have active safety mechanisms such as gates, warning bells, or flashing lights to warn drivers of active train crossings. Furthermore, distractions and poor visibility can inhibit awareness of an approaching train. This makes level railroad crossings particularly dangerous and results in hundreds...
