Hardware and Software System for At-Home Stereognosis Training

Sensory loss of the hand (including impaired proprioception, stereognosis, and tactile sensation) is common after peripheral nerve damage, stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis (MS), and other neurological conditions. While sensory retraining therapy has shown some benefits, there is no established method to restore tactile sensation following...

Multiplexed Chip System for Analysis of Drug Activity in Cell Extracts

This technology uses multielectrode chips with DNA monolayers to analyze drug activity of DNA-damaging cancer treatments to inform therapeutic decisions for personalized medicine. Due to the unpredictability of cancer drugs, it is difficult to identify which therapy will work most effectively for each individual while producing minimal side effects....

Small Molecule Inhibitor of Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2): Therapeutic Candidate and Diagnostic Tool for Metastatic Cancers

The transcription factor Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2) is known to be necessary to initiate and maintain the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which has been a hot target for therapeutic intervention against cancers. The overexpression of FOXC2 bestows cancer cells with metastatic and cancer stem cell (CSC)‐like phenotypes, i.e., higher motility,...

Object Flow Integrity: A Method of Securing Binary Software Against Hijacking Attacks on Object-Oriented Systems

The University of Texas at Dallas is seeking partners interested in broadening the software security technique of control-flow integrity (CFI) to support a much larger class of target application programs and architectures while further enhancing the security capabilities. Object Flow Integrity (OFI) is the first work to safely support inter-module...

Synthetic Binders of Breast Cancer Stem Cells

In recent decades, abundant research data has indicated the existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which represent a small, but significant, population among all cells within tumor tissues. These CSCs are mostly responsible for resistance to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, thereby becoming a root of tumor recurrence and metastasis. Several known...
