Salivary Exosome (NSEV) Analysis to Elucidate Intercellular Signaling Events that Precede Pilot Fatigue (UCLA Case No. 2021-172)
Researchers at UCLA’s Department of Neurology and Drug Discovery Lab have identified a novel set of biomarkers that change based on levels of Cognitive Fatigue (CF). These biomarkers can be used to non-invasively predict and assess levels of cognitive fatigue. BACKGROUND: Cognitive fatigue (CF) is an important factor in the efficiency and safety...

Mitochondrial-Targeted Peptide Modulators of Delta Protein Kinase C Interaction with the d-subunit of F1Fo ATP Synthase/ATPase as Therapeutics Against Cardiac Injury
Current State of the Art: Current clinical therapy for heart attack victims focuses on the rapid restoration of blood flow by thrombolysis, angioplasty, stenting and when appropriate surgical coronary artery bypass grafts. Problems with the Current Art: The majority of cardiac cell death associated with a heart attack actually occurs during the...
