Blood Biomarker for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Inflammation in the Brain in the Days and Weeks after Stroke

This invention comprises a method of identifying chronic inflammation in the day(s), weeks, or months after a stroke by measuring matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) in a patient to determine whether therapeutic intervention is required to help immune cells process lipid debris after stroke to reduce secondary neurodegeneration. MMP-12 is a protein...

Novel Mechanism Anti-Fungal with High Specificity

University of Arizona researchers have discovered a novel approach for treating fungal or yeast infections using a previously unstudied GPCR-like protein, which is integral to the regulation of cell growth in yeast cells. This protein and metabolic pathway is absent in higher-order animals, which provides a novel pathway for drugs to stop the growth...

Automated Lipid Exchange-Mass Spectrometry System

This invention is an automated label-free method to measure the affinity of membrane proteins for lipids by using conventional small molecule mass spectrometry (MS) to monitor lipid exchange between lipoprotein nanoparticles called nanodiscs. We call this method lipid exchange-mass spectrometry (LX-MS). The concept is that if a membrane protein binds...

Powdered G-protein Coupled Receptors

Inventors at the University of Arizona have generated G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) lypophilized (freeze-dried) into powdered form. When thawed and rehydrated, these GPCRs retain the functionality of their pre-frozen state even after one year. Because this process also involves the removal of water, the inventors were able to produce thawed GPCRs...

Pseudoprolines in Neuropeptides

This invention describes the use of pseudo peptides to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to targeted receptors to achieve pharmaceutical effects. Background: Increased research has led to the exploration of peptides delivering compounds by diffusing across the blood-brain barrier. Many peptide-based drugs are not created using pseudo-peptides,...
