Coating Containing Chain-Like Silica Nanoparticles Having Highly-Transparent Hydrophobic Surfaces
A nanoparticle coating provides transparent, hydrophobic surface coverage on charged substrates using electrostatically bound chain-like silica assemblies. Problem: Transparent surfaces often need water repellency without sacrificing optical transmission. Rough structures used for hydrophobicity can increase light scattering and reduce clarity. Multilayer...

Efficient MR fingerprinting using B-splines to improve (quantitative) MRI
Background/problem Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging modality which beneficially features excellent soft tissue contrast and lacks use of ionizing radiation. In clinical practice, MRI generates contrast-weighted images based on the intrinsic tissue parameters of the subject, which are then interpreted by a radiologist....

Hydrogen Sulfide Releasing Agents
Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has demonstrated several essential critical care benefits when delivered properly in low doses. The current state-of-the-art delivery systems rely on gaseous delivery of H2S to patients. WSU researchers have developed chemical agents that controllably decompose to release H2S and demonstrated their efficacy in biological...

DNA Nanocaged Enzymes
Compartmentalization increases the overall activity and specificity of encapsulated enzymes by protecting the enzymes, maintaining a high concentration of enzymes and substrates, and promoting substrate channeling. While there have been artificial enzymatic particles that have been created using compartmentalization by virus-like proteins, liposomes,...

Biological H2S / COS Donation by Thiocarbamates
1. Technology Overview The invention focuses on biological hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbonyl sulfide (COS) donation using thiocarbamates. These compounds release COS, which is then converted to H₂S by hydrolysis or metabolism by carbonic anhydrase. The technology is currently in the development stage, with promising cross-industry applications in...

Compounds for Thiol-Triggered COS and/or H2S Release and Methods of Making and Using the Same
1. Technology Overview The invention focuses on thiol-triggered sulfenyl thiocarbonates and sulfenyl thiocarbamates that release carbonyl sulfide (COS) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in the presence of biologically relevant thiols. These compounds offer a concomitant fluorescence response, providing optical indication of COS and H₂S release. The technology...
