RNA-Targeted Small Molecules as Potential Antiviral Therapy (HIV, SARS etc)
Brief Description: A high error rate of HIV -I reverse transcriptase coupled with a fast replication cycle associated with HIV -1 favors rapid development and selection of drug resistant strains. Therefore, identification of small molecules capable of inhibiting viral components necessary for HIV -1 proliferation continues to be of great importance....

Protease Activated Cytokines as Anti-Cancer Therapy
A novel therapy method for delivering localized anti-cancer responses without adverse body-wide side effects. Problem Solved by the Technology Despite remarkable success at identifying tumor-associated antigens (TAA), generating effective anti-tumor immune response has not been successful at eliminating tumors. Systemically administered active drugs...

New Therapeutic Target and Strategy to Enhance Tendon Mechanical Properties
Background The tendon is a highly collagenous connective tissue that transmits forces from muscle to bone to enable movement. Tendons are also prone to injury. Unfortunately, tendons have an exceptionally slow natural healing process and typically exhibit abnormal and inferior mechanical properties once healed. In addition, tendons are commonly associated...

Novel, Synthetic Peptides that Inhibit the Formation of Tight Junctions
Background Current methods of vaccination primarily rely on intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intradermal injection of antigens. These vaccination routes, while effective, require medical personnel to deliver, generate biohazards (sharps) requiring costly disposal, and cause patients pain and anxiety. This has fueled research efforts to identify “needle-free”...
