Detecting microRNA (miRNA) using nanopore single molecule detector
(2011-09)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short (~18-24-nt) non-coding RNAs molecules that regulate gene expression at the post- transcriptional level. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been found in all types of tumors. Most ...
Accurate and Non-invasive Quantification of Central Nervous System Pathology
(2011-09)
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has demonstrated sensitivity to detect pathologies in CNS white matter disorders. However, the capability of DTI to detect CNS white matter pathologies is confounded by the coexisting structural ...
Electrical Method for the Rapid Detection of Viable Bacteria in Suspensions
(2011-09)
The core technology is an electrical method that can detect the presence of viable bacteria present at low concentration (< 100/ml) in various suspension 4-10 times faster than currently possible. Although this can be used ...
Steerable Epidural Catheter
(2011-09)
Prior epidural catheters have a much greater risk of damage to patients' lumbar area of spine since the catheters are either threaded directly into the cervical and thoracic spaces at the corresponding levels with no ...
