Exotic Peptide Assembly to Form Various Structures
ud18-07 – APPLICATIONS: A process has been designed to form a new polymer material made from amino acids. The resulting polymer can be of various dimensions (one, two, or three dimensional) and would allow for impact in environmental, energy, and textile materials. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: The process uses peptide assembly to allow for precise size and arrangement of polymers. Prior methods are... Read More
Inhibition of GTPases to Prevent Osteoarthritis
ud18-14 – APPLICATIONS: A process has been designed to prevent cell response of catabolic activity in cartilage. Through the administration of two common drugs, the catabolic enzymes that are released by cells after joint injuries become inhibited. This has potential to limit or prevent osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: During stimulations in the joints due to... Read More
Controlling Protein Degradation by Stabilizing Degradation Domains
ud18-30 – APPLICATION: This is a potent new process in which a desired protein can be cleared from the cell by avoiding degradation, resulting in rapid accumulation of the protein of interest. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED: At the moment, there are no technologies or processes that allow for the regulation of protein stability using other proteins intracellularly other than this process. There are other... Read More
