PNA5 Treatment in Myocardial Ischemic Reperfusion Injury Decreases Infarction Size and Promotes Heart Function

This innovation is a novel method of treating cardiovascular disease, specifically, the continued tissue damage that occurs during myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury (MIRI) elicited by myocardial ischemia. While damage during MIRI is multifaceted, this new treatment addresses nearly every caveat including reactive oxygen species (ROS), calcium overload,...

Novel Peptides Bioavailable to the Brain for Non-Opioid Pain Relief and/or Addiction Treatment

Inventors at the University of Arizona have developed oxytocin analogues which have high potency, are designed to be more stable compared to the native oxytocin hormone (an endogenous peptide which inhibits pain and promotes social connection), have very high selectivity for oxytocin receptors, and are bioavailable for brain therapeutics. These druggable...
