Selective Estrogen Receptor Beta Agonists
TS-062681 — According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer for women in the US, except for skin cancer. It comprised about 30% of all new female cancers each year. While breast cancer death rates have decreased over the last several decades, it remains the second leading cause…

Metabolite-Based Diagnostics for Joint Infection
TS-059537 — An untargeted NMR-based metabolomics approach to identify metabolic compounds as signatures of bacterial joint infections and methods for the treatment and prevention thereof.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a biofilm-producing pathogenic bacterium, exhibits resistance to many antibiotics. This leads to acute and chronic joint infections that are difficult to treat. Accordingly, a critical need exists for accurate biofilm diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. While culture-free…

Rabbit Model for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
TS-058084 — A rabbit model has been created for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) that more closely resembles the effects experienced in humans while being more cost effective compared to larger animal models.
There has yet to be a DMD animal model that bridges the gap between cost effectiveness and scientific relevance. This new rabbit model does that.
DMD is a lethal genetic disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and muscle wasting. There are several animal models for DMD, includin…

X-Ray Assistive Device for Standardizing the Knee Templating Process
TS-054471 — Knee templating is used as part of the pre-operative planning for knee replacement to determine the best fit for an implant. The current assistive devices used to determine fit are unreliable and inaccurate for proper patient fit. A new device is suggested to overcome these limitations.
Over 600,000 knee replacements are performed per year. As part of the pre-operative planning for surgery, x-ray images are taken to determine the proper fit for the implant. Even with the use of a calibration ball, this knee templating procedure remains inaccurate and unreliable for a number of re…
