A fusion intermediate state of HIV-1 gp41, targeted by broadly neutralizing antibodies, for purposes of vaccination

HIV infection generally induces a strong antibody response to the envelope glycoprotein, the sole antigen on the virion surface. Most of the induced antibodies are ineffective in preventing infection, however, as they are either non-neutralizing or…

Improved metal complex chemical precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor depostion (CVD) using bicyclic guanidines

A new class of metal complex precursors has been identified for use in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), using bicycle guanidines as ligands as opposed to acetamidines. The ALD process involves the alternating…

Beyond Moore's Law in opto-electronics: New material enables ultra-fast switching

VO2 is a material known for having a number of outstanding properties that allow it to meet or exceed those of current silicon-based opto-electronics. It is capable of ultrafast switching, low leakage, and is scalable to size-scales smaller than…

Using (-)-indolactam V to induce differentiation of human and mouse embryonic stem cells into pancreatic lineage

• ILV can be used alone, or in combination with growth factors, to direct differentiation of ESCs into pancreatic specification. ILV is effective on human ESC lines and mouse ESC lines. • ILV is effective on human ESC lines HUES 2, 4 and 8. After 4…

New cell sorting technology could replace fluorescent and magnetic technologies

Dr. Prentiss’ lab has developed a new cell sorting technology based on microfluidics. This technique enables manipulation of non-magnetic micro- and nano-entities, including cells, immersed in magnetic fluids. Compared to existing MACS and FACS cell…

Robust thin film solid oxide fuel cell

Among the major fuel cell chemistries, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are considered most desirable due to their high energy conversion efficiency, fuel flexibility, and contaminant tolerance. Conventional solid oxide fuel cells operate at 800°C -…

Vertical silicon nanowires as a universal platform for highly efficient delivery of bioactive molecules into living cells

This platform consists of an array of surface-modified vertical silicon nanowires that have been chemically grown or etched on a wafer and to which virtually any kind of bioactive species (drug, protein, nucleic acid, nanoparticles) may be attached…

Paper-supported 3D cell culture for cell and tissue-based bioassays

In this new approach, cells are cultured in 3D on a paper scaffold by adding a hydrogel precursor, as a fluid containing suspended cells, to a paper support, allowing the cell-containing fluid to distribute through the paper by capillary wicking,…

Novel methods for generating regulatory T-cells

Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are key mediators of peripheral tolerance that can actively suppress effector T-cells, inhibit inflammation and mediate self-tolerance. Unlike naturally occurring Tregs (nTregs) which develop in the thymus,…
