Method and Device for Selectively Labeling RNA
Abstract: Current methods of labeling and synthesizing RNA do not allow for multiple labels or long RNA segments to be synthesized for large RNA on a milligram scale. Investigators at the NCI Structure Biophysics Lab and UT Health Science Center have developed a method to selectively label RNA at specific residues and/or segments using a hybrid solid-liquid...

Real-Time PCR Assay for Specific Detection of Haemophilus influenzae Serotypes A and B
Haemophilus influenzae is responsible for life-threatening respiratory infections including meningitis. This assay allows for the qualitative detection of the bacterial meningitis pathogen H. influenzae serotype A (Hia) and serotype B (Hib) in fluid samples, without detecting any of the other serotypes of H. influenzae. This invention is capable of...

Novel Zinc Metallochaperone (ZMC) Complexes for Treatment of p53-Mutated Cancers
A) Novel mechanism of action: a short exposure to ZMCs increases zinc levels in tumors enough to restore normal structure/function to mutant p53 which leads to p53 mediated cancer cell death. B) Novel formulation: Synthesizing ZMCs as a zinc-loaded complex (Zn-1) improves survival in a pancreatic cancer mouse model compared to the ZMC compound alone....

Protein-based Nanofabrics as Multi-functional “Green” Air Filtering Materials for High Efficiency Particulate and Toxic Chemical Filtration
AbstractAir filters currently in the market cannot simultaneously purify the air from particles and chemicals effectively. The non-degradable synthetic nature of existing products also creates environmental issues. To solve these problems, researchers at Washington State University have developed a green multi-functional air filter. This filter is...
