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,...

Novel Anti-HIV Compounds Using Peptides or Peptide Mimetics

Abstract: The subject invention describes a new class of compounds (such as peptides or mimetics) that target viral RNAs and inhibit the viral life cycle by blocking the viral recognition process. More specifically, these compounds are the first against an RNA Target - currently there are no clinical drugs against RNA targets in the treatment of any...

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...

Metabolic activity diffusion imaging (MADI): dye-free, high-resolution MRI metabolic imaging

Summary The current technology is a contrast agent-free method of metabolic imaging based on detection of Na/K ATPase activity with MRI, that provides significantly higher resolution than current approaches such as PET. Technology Overview Measuring metabolic activity in vivo can facilitate diagnoses of disease states and therapeutic responses....

A Gamma-ray Photon Counting Detector Based on Side-readout of Monolithic Scintillator Layers

Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a gamma-ray photon counting device that works similarly to PET, but with a novel architecture that improves the accuracy and speed in determining the location of the biological targets, and is less costly to manufacture. Background: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a common and reliable...

Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for the Rapid Detection of Rabies and Other Lyssaviruses

Rabies occurs in more than 150 countries and territories, resulting in at least 55,000 human deaths per year worldwide according to World Health Organization estimates. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease caused by numerous lyssaviruses that are found in a variety of animal species throughout the world. Rabies virus infects the central nervous...

Universal Diagnostic Assay for Detection and Identification of Poxviruses in Clinical Samples

CDC researchers have developed an assay for detection and diagnosis of poxviruses within clinical samples or from lab culture-systems. The assay specifically targets chordopoxviruses (except avipoxviruses) for PCR-based identification; an improvement upon the current standard of cell culturing methodologies. Individual chordopoxvirus species can cause...

Intelligent Multi-Beam Medium Access Control in Ku-Band for Mission-Oriented Mobile Mesh Networks

The Problem: There are existing similar technologies, but these technologies are not designed for mobile mission-oriented applications. The use of Ku-band frequency on two separate information transmission levels reduces interference common with current multi-beam antennas. Also, the Ku-band frequency is not the currently used frequency range...

Method for 3D Nonlinear Structured Illumination Super-resolution Imaging

Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a super-resolution microscopy method that is faster, easier to use, and has less artifacts than current super-resolution methods. The result is a 3D dual-color stimulated emission depletion (STED) nonlinear structured illumination (NL-SIM) microscope. Using a combination of low coherent light and...

A Mechanism and Method for Synthesis of a 2-D Gamma-ray Pinhole Projection Image from a Plurality of Slit Projection Images

This invention is a 3D medical imaging technique that incorporates single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to image radioisotope distributions, which are generally used to detect/monitor cancer, drug delivery, etc. This imaging technique uses SPECT to take 2D and 3D tomographic images of radioisotope distributions, both of which can be analyzed...
