The researchers are looking for further sponsored research and an industry partner to bring Pulcherrimin as a novel additive to the food, medical and cosmetic market....

Neuroinflammation has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and has been suggested to promote disease progression and pathology. In Huntington’s disease, neuroinflammation was suggested, but evidence has been less firm. We have developed a human cellular model for polyQ-related disorders, including Huntington’s Disease (HD). Our results highlight IL-8 and IL-11 as interleukins specifically induced in polyQ aggregates containing cells and demonstrate that by preventing their induction, polyQ aggregation can be significantly delayed. We therefore propose that IL-8 (and potentially IL-11) inhibitors could be effective therapeutic agents for HD, as well as all other polyQ-related disorders....

Application:           Our innovation: We develop an innovative approach to detect, quantify, and monitor changes in redox-sensitive cysteines among complex proteomes. We design and synthesize a set of reagents, which specifically interact with reduced cysteine thiols, which are used to derive a platform for redox proteomics in cells, focusing on monitoring changes in oxidation during cell […]...

Application : Our innovation: A device that monitors viral activity which evaluates the efficiency of IV drug inhibitors and predicts their potency towards a specific strain. Advantages: In comparison to existing methods of analysis based on scarcely available glycan-arrays, our glycan-based biosensor has significant advantages: Opportunity: We are seeking collaboration with different entities, such as […]...

Two groups of researchers joined forces to develop AI-educational tools supporting dialogic learning and teaching. The project focuses on analyzing student chat dialogues over a study task. ...

The group is interested in expanding their industrial partnerships, helping companies learn about seismic risks in their domain, identifying faults and weak points of existing systems, and developing EEW systems, while at the same time addressing fundamental scientific questions in earthquake physics. These capabilities are a real game changer for countries that are faced with offshore earthquake hazards (e.g., Chile, Peru, Japan, Alaska, Indonesia, Philippines etc.) to prepare for future earthquakes....

We now propose human pro-apoptotic proteins as new “active” domains of chimeric proteins to induce death of target cancer cells....

Large amounts of yeast cells that grew during repeated series of fermentations in the vessels, in antiquity, were absorbed into the nanopores of the vessels. These yeast cells altered the composition of the microorganisms’ population and remained as microcolonies, which continued to grow and survive over millennia in the ceramic matrices, based on occasional supply of moisture and nutrients....

This treatment will not only target NAFLD and associated diseases, but also meet an unmet need for drug development for metabolic diseases like atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure beta-cell dysfunction, kidney diseases, and diabetes.  ...

We hope to develop the database – collect more spectral data and actual chl data to train and test models based on bigger sample numbers. The first step is to test for more genotypes in wheat but the next steps would be to test additional crops and explore canopy spectral data ability. We aim to improve the accuracy and robustness of the current method, allowing the agronomist insights into the ratio between chl-a and chl-b....
