During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, nanoscale vaccine technologies (e.g., mRNA vaccines) have proven superiority over conventional vaccines in terms of production speed and modularity. Unfortunately, the restricted global distribution results in... Read More >
We discovered a previously unidentified target in the heart, namely the SK4 calcium-activated K+ channels, which are functionally expressed in pacemaker cells as well as in atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes. They are crucial for proper cardiac... Read More >
Cerebrovascular dysfunction is a fundamental part of the pathology of several neurodegenerative diseases and rated as one of the most prominent cause for dementia. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) results in intra-parenchymal and subarachnoid... Read More >
Malignant brain tumors are the cause of a disproportionate level of morbidity and mortality among cancer patients, an unfortunate statistic that has remained constant for decades. Despite considerable advances in the molecular characterization of... Read More >
We have identified eight potent neutralizing antibodies (mAbs) from recovered COVID-19 patients for COVID-19 treatment. These antibodies may be used as pre-exposure prophylaxis, i.e., as short-term protection from infection for populations at risk... Read More >
High levels of homocysteine (Hcy) are reported as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Correspondingly, inborn hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with an increased predisposition to the development of dementia in later stages of life... Read More >
An active cancer vaccine strategy targeting tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens expressed on tumor cells using biomimetic glyconanoparticles generated from unique red blood cells. The resulting sustained immune response inhibits tumor... Read More >
UNMET NEEDNeurotrauma causes accumulation of excess toxic glutamate and neurological damage. Anti-glutamatergic treatments have failed to reduce CNS (Central nerve system) glutamate levels after SCI, and there is no clinically available emergency... Read More >
Mortalin (also known as GRP75 and mitochondrial stress protein 70) is a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial chaperone related to the cytosolic heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). It protects cells from senescence and apoptosis and is overexpressed in... Read More >
During the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, rapid and sensitive screening tools for SARS-CoV2 infection were defined critical for limiting the spread of COVID-19 and for allocating national resources properly. Researchers have developed and... Read More >
