Accelerated Brain MRI
MRI has become an invaluable tool for diagnostic brain imaging, providing unrivalled qualitative and quantitative information to the radiologist. However, due to long scanning times and capital costs, access to MRI lags behind CT. Typical brain protocols, lasting between 20-50 minutes per patient, set a clear limitation to patient experience, scanner throughput and operation profitability, […] Read More >
Micropatterning Cells and Spheroids in 3D Hydrogels
Control over cell organization within 3D hydrogels, strategically placing cells in specific locations, holds significant potential for engineering tissues with precise and intricate architectures, as well as for advancing drug testing applications. Although methods for micropatterning cells on 2D substrates are well-established and widely accessible, achieving cell micropatterning within biomimetic 3D hydrogels—mimicking the soft cellular […] Read More >
MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR LARVAL FISH REARING
Most marine fish hatch from mm-size eggs irrespective of adult size, and suffer prodigious mortality (rates of 70-90% of the brood) in the first weeks of their lives. This mortality makes the rearing of larval (very young) fish costly, and an impediment for introducing new species to the growth cycle. We propose an automated system, […] Read More >
New Chemiluminescent Protease Probe for Rapid, Sensitive, and Inexpensive Detection of Live Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a top-ten cause of death worldwide. Successful treatment is often limited by insufficient diagnostic capabilities, especially at the point of care in low-resource settings. The ideal diagnostic must be fast, be cheap, and require minimal clinical resources while providing high sensitivity, selectivity, and the ability to differentiate live from dead bacteria.OUR SOLUTION• We […] Read More >
A novel method to remotely detect plant sound emission, as a response to induced stress
A novel system developed to remotely detect plant sound emission, as a response to stress. The system consists of hardware and software components: microphones that remotely pick up the plant’s sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz; a signal processing layer; and a machine-learning algorithm that classifies the recorded sounds and reports […] Read More >
Antibody-Based Biosensor Diagnostic tool for Pathogenic Bacteria Detection
UNMET NEED • Antibiotic resistance crisis is driven by extensive and inappropriate usage of antibiotics and is predicted to result in an annual death toll of 10 million people by 2050. The ability to provide a rapid and accurate surveillance and diagnosis of multiple-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria is pivotal to the efficiency of controlling the growing […] Read More >
Rapid Detection of Drug Resistance in Patients Suffering from Invasive Fungal Infections
Global epidemics of fungal infections caused by drug resistant pathogens has beenrising sharply in recent decades including the most recently discovered Candida auris(an extensive multi-drug resistant fungal pathogen). The Echioncandin class ofantifungal drugs approved as the first-line treatment of candidaemia, invasivecandidiasis and severe infections caused by pathogenic yeast of the genus Candida,the most prevalent fungal […] Read More >
A Cost-Effective On-Site Cell-Free Biomolecules Manufacturing
ABSTRACT On-site biomolecules production is a need for many applications such as drug screening, personalized therapeutics, remote clinics, and more. CONTRALL is a silicone chip that enables cost-effective production and purification of biomolecules (proteins, Abs, etc.). The technology is especially useful for the on-site production of simple and complex biomolecules, thus surpassing the need for a […] Read More >
Molecular Harvesting with Electroporation for Tissue Profiling
Detecting tumors in unknown locations and Creating molecular maps of therapeutically relevant targets in heterogeneous tumors by molecular harvesting with electroporation. Our vision is to assist physicians to diagnose cancer more precise and help scientists and drug companies develop personalized, targeted therapies. We achieved this by providing tools for accurate spatial molecular mapping of tumors […] Read More >
Label-Free 3D Quantitative Imaging of Live Cells
A method for a real-time visualization and automatic processing for detection and classification of untouched and unstained cells during stain-free imaging flow cytometry and digital pathology using digital holographic microscopy and machine learning. UNMET NEEDMost approaches dealing with the identification and characterization of specific cell types rely on using unique antigens or contrast agents. The […] Read More >
