Device for Simulating Explosive Blast and Imaging Biological Specimens

Summary: Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) developed a device simulating a blast shock wave of the type produced by explosive devices such as bombs. The invention allows for the real-time study of blast effects on in vitro cell models. NICHD researchers seek licensing opportunities to further develop...

Therapeutics for Neurodegenerative Disorders and Cancer Using Lenalidomide Analogs

Abstract: Inflammatory processes associated with the over-production of tumor necrosis-alpha (TNF-alpha), a potent activator of the immune system accompany numerous neurodegenerative diseases. TNF-alpha has been validated as a drug target with the development of the inhibitors Enbrel and Remicade (fusion antibodies) as prescription medications. Both,...

Isotropic Generalized Diffusion Tensor MRI

Abstract: Scientists at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) have developed a method implemented as pulse sequences and software to be used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners and systems. This technology is available for licensing and commercial development. The method allows for measuring...

Methods of Determining Homeostatic Perturbations

Description of Technology: Biological homeostasis is a state of steady internal, physical, and chemical conditions maintained by a living organism observed at the cellular level. Biological homeostasis can vary in order to alter the cellular physical and chemical conditions. Thus, it acts as a mechanism to define the physiological state of cellular...
