Thermal Control During Additive Manufacturing
THE CHALLENGE Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a powerful tool within engineering. Many AM and coating processes rely on thermal input to soften or melt the materials involved in processing. However, this melting or softening typically results in a higher thermal gradient between deposited material and the workpiece, commonly resulting in...

Calcimycin as Antifungals
A new antifungal treatment is necessary, as pathogens evolve and develop immunity to current methods. Here, the inventors present calcimycin (CMN) as a novel treatment of cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans (Cne) and likely Cryptococcus gattii (Cga). CMN prevents the protein from continuing to splice. While the current treatment methods...

COMBINATION THERAPIES FOR COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel RNA enveloped coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 when the virus enters human airway cells via an ACE2-mediated entry process. This entry pathway is facilitated by the cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), which enhances viral attachment to the cell surface. Researchers at NIDDK and NCATS...
