Targeted Nanocarriers for Brain Inflammation and Cancer Cachexia
Nanocarriers deliver anti-inflammatory therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier to activated microglia Background Delivering therapeutics to the brain remains a major drug-development challenge because the blood-brain barrier restricts systemic agents from reaching therapeutically relevant concentrations in the central nervous system. This barrier...

Faster Distributed Systems Using Quasi-Synchrony
A way to organize distributed systems for data centers that require fewer resources and increase efficiency and predictability. Problem: Many distributed systems today are built on the assumption that the system is asynchronous - that packets can be lost or delayed arbitrarily and that clocks are at most weakly synchronized. This assumption results...
