HPV+ HNSCC Cell Lines
Tech ID: L-20-002 Background HPV+ HNSCC (head and neck squamous cell carcinoma) is increasing in occurrence in the HNSCC population around the world. Although there are numerous HPV negative HNSCC cell lines that have been established and that are used as models of HPV negative disease, there is a lack of HPV+ cell lines models

Learn moreContrast-agent-free Medical Diagnostic Imaging
Tech ID: L-21-003 Background Contrast agent (CA) administration to a patient is a frequent prerequisite for medical imaging. For example, in heart imaging, the elimination of gadolinium contrast agent (CA) injections and manual segmentation are crucial for ischemic heart disease (IHD) diagnosis and treatment. In the clinic, CA-based late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging and manual

Learn more4D Computed Tomography Cardiovascular Flow Imaging
Tech ID: L-19-007 Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the non-invasive gold standard for blood flow assessment in larger blood vessels (arteries and veins), but MRI has limitations in terms of accessibility, patient throughput and operating cost. In contrast, Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the most frequently used diagnostic imaging modalities in hospitals, but

Learn moreEGFR antagonist-mediated prevention of post myocardial infarction ruptures
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, claiming the lives of an estimated 17 million people annually. Myocardial infarctions (MI), or heart attacks, are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Complications following MI include maladaptive left ventricle (LV) tissue remodeling and cardiac rupture.

Learn morePeptides targeting EGFL7, a critical player in angiogenesis
Epidermal growth factor-like 7 (EGFL7) is an endothelial cell secreted protein whose expression is restricted to actively remodeling vascular endothelium. It is critical for vascular tube formation during angiogenesis through localizing to the extracellular matrix (ECM) at the basal surface of endothelial cells and promoting endothelial cell adhesion. In adults, expression of EGFL7 is detected only at sites of active angiogenesis during wound repair, in the pregnant uterus and in tumors.
