Methods And Compositions For Targeting Adipose Tissue In Mammals:

Researchers at UTHealth have identified a marker expressed uniquely on ASC surface. They also isolated a number of peptide sequences targeting only ASCs and not stromal cells in other organs by binding to this marker. The new findings show it is possible to direct probes to stem cells in vivo in an organ-specific manner.l pressure after a head injury is preceded by specific changes in a patient’s blood chemistry. | more

Detection of Functional Clostridium Difficile Toxins:

Researchers at UTHealth have developed a quantitative C. difficile activity assay that enables cost-efficient, sensitive, quantitative measurement of the cleavage activities of toxin A and toxin B of C. difficile in both a culture supernatant and a selective and differential agar-based assay. | more

Lymphatic Imaging System:

Dr. Eva Sevick and her collaborators have developed an extensive patent portfolio aimed at overcoming the deficiencies in existing lymphatic system imaging methods. Sevick's system provides real time images of the lymphatic system by making use not of expensive CT scanners or PET imagers, but of less expensive specialized cameras. | more

Automated Needle Insertion Device:

Researchers at UT have developed a device for automatically inserting a catheter or other medical implement into a patient. | more
