Biomimetic high-strength bone implant polymer material
Problem Bone defects are a global issue affecting millions, caused by factors such as trauma, aging, disease, surgical resections, and congenital abnormalities. There are natural and synthetic options for bone grafts or replacement. A natural bone graft may come from the patient or a donor and is surgically inserted and provides a surface for the remaining...

DNA Methylation Barriers
In normal differentiated cells, most of the genome is densely methylated, except CpG islands near promoters of actively transcribed genes. Maintaining this boundary between unmethylated promoter-associated and adjacent methylated regions is crucial as loss of segregation can lead to disease. Unfortunately, it is not clear where these boundaries are,...

Knitted strain sensor for pharyngeal rehabilitation
Problem Dysphagia, or swallowing dysfunction, affects 9.5 million people in the United States. Dysphagia poses significant risks including malnutrition, dehydration, aspiration pneumonia, and death. Dysphagia is associated with diseases including stroke, muscular dystrophy, and throat cancer. The impact of dysphagia extends beyond physical discomfort,...

Nutraceuticals for Preventing Leaky Gut
​ ​ Image Legend: Control intestinal organoids and organoids conditioned to have a leak, or more permeable barrier, were treated with nutraceuticals which clearly prevented increased permeability in the “leaky” organoids. Similar findings were observed in cell culture and in vivo Invention Summary: More than 22 million Americans...
