January 2nd, 2018 Obesity results from excess white fat storage, making it difficult to treat because the effectiveness of diet, exercise, and systemic anti-obesity agents is limited, and in the latter case may cause serious side effects. As a result, researchers are investigating innovative strategies for localized delivery of fat burning compounds via...

November 28th, 2017 Opioids, such as oxycodone, are routinely prescribed for short-term pain management following pain-inducing injuries.  However, their use is associated with the development of tolerance and addiction, due in part to dosage mismanagement by patients.  Recently, the FDA approved the use of the first digital pill administered in...

August 31st, 2017 Pancreatic cancer patients have one of the lowest five-year survival rates, due in large part to the disease going undiagnosed in its early and intermediate stages. There are no overt symptoms during the critical early period, and non-invasive screening tools for identifying early pancreatic tumors before they metastasize have yet...

March 23rd, 2017 Organophosphates are toxic chemicals used as pesticides in agricultural practice and as nerve agents in biological warfare. Exposure to organophosphates can cause severe illness or death if appropriate safety measures are not taken. Rapid and accurate point-of-use detection of organophosphate pesticides or nerve agents would improve...

March 15th, 2017 Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are widely studied for their applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. hPSCs have the potential to self-renew and differentiate into a wide variety of specialized cells, processes that are heavily influenced by the extracellular microenvironment. Traditionally, hPSCs are grown...

November 30th, 2016 Thrombosis, the occlusion of vasculature by blood clots, is a precursor to debilitating conditions including stroke, pulmonary embolism, and heart attack. Blood thinners such as heparin or Coumadin are used to treat thrombosis, but necessitate ongoing blood tests for precise drug dosing. Researchers from the University of North...

November 22nd, 2016 A recent study in the journal Nature has provided proof of principle for a novel method which enables the encoding of a cell’s history in its genome and the subsequent readout of the information. Called MEMOIR (Memory by Engineered Mutagenesis with Optical In situ Readout), the new technique provides insight into cellular patterns of...
