Precise control of wound healing depends on physician’s evaluation, experience. Physicians provide conditions and time for body to either heal itself, or to accept and heal around direct transplantations, and their practice relies a lot on passive recovery. Slow healing of recalcitrant wounds is a known persistent problem, with incomplete healing, scarring, and abnormal tissue regeneration. 23% of military blast and burn wounds do not close, affecting a patient’s bone, skin, nerves. 64% of military trauma have abnormal bone growth into soft tissue. While newer static approaches have demonstrated enhanced growth of non-regenerative tissue, they do not adapt to the changing state of wound, thus resulting in limited efficacy.

In PET imaging, patient motion, such as respiratory and cardiac motion, are a major source of blurring and motion artifacts. Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a technology designed to enhance PET imaging resolution without the need for external devices by effectively mitigating these artifacts

Professor Bahman Anvari and colleagues from the University of California, Riverside and the University of Maryland have developed nanoparticle systems with greater fluorescence emission when compared to known dyes. These nanoparticles incorporate dual near infrared fluorescence (NIR) and magnetic resonance (MR) dyes for improved fluorescence.  The nanoparticles encapsulate brominated carbocyanine dyes with MR qualities and ICG with NIR properties. This technology is advantageous because these nanoparticles containing these dyes exhibit greater fluorescence emission when compared to the individual dyes.  This presents a promising dual-mode platform with high optical sensitivity and clinical diagnostic and research applications.  

Researchers at UC Irvine have identified genetic polymorphisms associated with disease progression and responsiveness to treatment with Tetracosapentaenoic acid (24:5 n-3) for age-related eye disorders such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. These variations found in the ELOVL2 gene are associated with AMD progression and the varying responses individuals have to AMD treatments, including preventative measures. Additionally, these genetic variations have applications in human identification.

Professor Giulia Palermo and colleagues from the University of California, Riverside and the University of Rochester have developed high-fidelity Cas13a variants with increased sensitivity for base pair mismatches.The activation of these Cas13a variants can be inhibited with a single mismatch between guide-RNA and target-RNA, a property that can be used for the detection of SNPs associated with diseases or specific genotypic sequences.
