Strategies to Protect Mammalian Neural Tissue Against Cold and Potentially Other Metabolic Stresses and Physical Damages
Abstract: Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have discovered an invention describing a composition and method(s) of using such composition for preserving viability of cells, tissues, or organs at a low temperature (around 4ºC). Current cold storage solutions or methods for cells, tissues, and organs are suboptimal due to irreversible...

Novel Roles of a DNA Repair Protein, DNA-PKcs, in Obesity, Neurological Function, and Aging
The catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase complex (DNA-PKcs) has been shown to be important in DNA repair and VDJ recombination in lymphocytes. The inventors have discovered that DNA-PKcs also plays novel, important roles in energy regulation and neurological function. The inventors observed that mature DNA-PKcs-deficient mice (also...

A Method to Treat Alzheimer’s, Heart and Liver Diseases
Technology Description This technology describes a process for the preparation of the tripeptide glutathione or its precursors to be delivered to the mitochondria for treating age-related conditions, toxicologic exposures, neurodegeneration, heart disease, and liver damage. More specifically, glutathione precursors and derivatives are coupled to a lipophilic...
