Optical device for in vivo assessment of tissues

Optical device for in vivo assessment of tissues

Value Proposition Fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrum are increasingly being investigated for tissue characterization. These biological scatterers, absorbers, and fluorophores may be used to indicate the existence of certain diseases.…

Rapid immunoassay to detect anti-EGFRviii levels to evaluate vaccine efficacy

Rapid immunoassay to detect anti-EGFRviii levels to evaluate vaccine efficacy

Value Proposition Tumor-specific molecules offer the possibility of targeted cancer therapy using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specifically directed against the tumor-specific molecule. However, it has proven difficult to identify tumor-specific molecules. Overexpression of EGFR in human…

SUMO as a marker of cancer development and target for cancer therapy

SUMO as a marker of cancer development and target for cancer therapy

Value Proposition Cancer therapy remains challenging, and the production of new inhibitor therapies is stinted by the need for clear successful targets that will block tumor cell proliferation. Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins and the…
