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...

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...

Strategies to Protect Mammalian Neural Tissue Against Cold and Potentially Other Metabolic Stresses and Physical Damages
Abstract: Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have discovered an invention describing a composition and method(s) of using such composition for preserving viability of cells, tissues, or organs at a low temperature (around 4ºC). Current cold storage solutions or methods for cells, tissues, and organs are suboptimal due to irreversible...

Establishment of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) from the Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel
Abstract: The limited choice in cell types available for in vitro studies has become an obstacle in hibernation research. Researchers at the National Eye Institute for the first time have successfully established iPSC line(s) from a mammalian hibernator, which can be potentially used to generate various cell types and tissue models for in-depth mechanistic...

Self-neutralizing air-breathing thruster and method of neutralization
An ion-engine is the cutting edge for atmospheric air-breathing engines. The technology depends on ionizing and neutralizing atmospheric air particles which create thrust. This unique possibility makes it an ideal choice for very-low-orbit satellites. Very- low-orbit satellite capabilities have benefits such as higher resolution for images, weight...

Non-Invasive Plasma Discharge Tube Device for Treating Brain Tumors
Treating brain tumors, like glioblastoma, is challenging. Current glioblastoma drugs, Rapamycin and Temozolomide (TMZ), generally only extend life for a matter of months, are not very effective in treating recurring tumors, and have significant clinical toxicity. A novel Plasma Discharge Tube (PDT) device has the potential to be more effective and less...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...

Cold atmospheric plasma-stimulated media for treating cancers
For successful cancer therapy, the most important aspect is selective eradication of cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cells and normal cells have different thresholds for tolerance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) before cell death (apoptosis) is induced. Previously, GW researchers invented a cold...
