Regulation of ubiquitin specific protease 8 by AMPK-mediated phosphorylation

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting greater than 1% of people over 60. As occurrences are predicted to double in the next 20 years, there is a critical need for the development of prophylactic and/or therapeutic interventions. We have recently identified two enzymes, USP8 and AMPK, that interact and may […]

Improving reliability of solid-state nanopore sensors through redundancy and chemical functionalization

Solid-state nanopores—tiny holes in thin glass similar in size to biomolecules like proteins or DNA—are poised to disrupt many essential growth markets, including genomics and proteomics, personalized medicine, point-ofcare diagnostics, and next-generation information storage. While holding great promise as a broadly applicable disruptive technology, solid-state nanopore sensors are individually failure-prone, requiring use of many in […]

Simple Perfusion Reconstruction Algorithm (SPIRAL) Clinical Research Study

The delivery of stroke treatment requires simple, quick, and accurate imaging to make fast treatment decisions. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is required to identify a large vessel occlusion (LVO) and medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) before removal (recanalization) by tPA and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The CTA can detect where the artery is blocked reliably by an […]
