Optimizing AVG and ACC for Better Apple Ripening
THE CHALLENGE Apple growers face a significant challenge in balancing fruit quality and yield due to the complex role of ethylene, a plant hormone that both enhances red coloration and accelerates fruit drop before harvest. While ethylene inhibitors like AVG and 1-MCP are used to reduce losses from premature fruit detachment, they also suppress anthocyanin...

Highly Sensitive 3D Sensors for Prevention of Hypocalcemia in Dairy Cows
THE CHALLENGE Hypocalcemia, colloquially known as Milk Fever, is a common metabolic disorder caused by severe calcium deficiency most prevalent in dairy cows. This disorder has clinical and subclinical levels of severity, the latter often going undetected due to lack of symptoms. Without treatment, up to 60-80% of cases result in death. Further, milk...

Biodegradable Polymers for Gene Delivery
​ Invention Summary: In gene therapy, a key challenge is delivering therapeutic genes to target cells, which requires gene delivery vectors. While viral vectors are effective, they pose risks such as immune responses and toxicity. Non-viral vectors, particularly cationic polymers, are preferred for their safety, cost-effectiveness, and high...
