Allosteric Modulation of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor for Treatment of Neurological Disorders
Project ID: D2022-18 Background Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are G protein-coupled receptors that are located in the cell membranes of neurons and mediate the effects of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). Each mAChR forms a complex with intracellular G proteins that, when activated, produce an intracellular signaling cascade....

Dual Microcatheter
Project ID: D2021-45 Background: With increasing use of embolization in minimally invasive surgical procedures, the demand for microcatheters has increased exponentially and the growth rate is at 8%. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain or spine. The distinguishing feature of an AVM is...

Compounds for non-lethal micropinocytosis and exosome production
Project ID: D2017-25 Background Exosomes are vesicles in the range of 30 to 120nm, which are released from mammalian cells when multi-vesicular endosomes fuse with the plasma membrane. In recent times, exosomes have been implicated in cancer. Mounting evidence suggests that exosomes play an important role in mediating intercellular communication...

Compounds for disrupting microtubule networks and mitosis in brain cancer
Project ID: D2014-42 Background Primary brain tumors and secondary intracranial tumors from metastatic spread of other cancers (e.g., melanoma, lung carcinoma) have been inaccessible to therapy with microtubule-targeted agents (vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel) because the latter do not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. Invention...

Novel Compounds for Treatment of Neurodegenerative Conditions and Diseases (Case 1939)
Novel Compounds for Treatment of Neurodegenerative Conditions and Diseases Overview Stroke and other neurological insults entail a build-up of waste materials in brain cells. One of the most common waste materials is glutamate, which is present in more than 50 percent of nervous tissue. Glutamate receptors are critical to neuronal functioning. Failure...

Aspiration catheter with an adjustable tip for intracranial circulation
Project ID: D2021-08 Background: Acute ischemic stroke is the sudden blockage of adequate blood flow to a section of the brain, usually caused by thrombus or other emboli lodging or forming in one of the blood vessels supplying the brain. If the blockage is not quickly resolved, the ischemia may lead to permanent neurologic deficit or death. The...
