Use of Neurotrophic Factor-alpha1/Carboxypeptidase E (CPE) to Treat Alzheimer Disease

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks research licensees and /or co-development partners under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to advance preclinical and clinical development of methods to treat Alzheimer Disease using Carboxypeptidase E (CPE).

Tamperless Tensor Elastography Imaging

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development of tamperless tensor elastography imaging in assessing disease (e.g., cancer), normal and abnormal developmental processes, degeneration and trauma in the brain and other soft tissues, and other applications.

Systems and Devices for Training and Imaging an Awake Test Animal

Researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) have developed an apparatus that is used to image rodents while they are awake. The biological effects of agents on the rats can be imaged (via MRI for instance) in real time over a prolonged period of time.

SMAD3 Reporter Mouse for Assessing TGF-ß/Activin Pathway Activation

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developed a novel mouse for the detection of TGF-ß signaling. This mouse provides the opportunity to study TGF-ß signaling in vivo and may be a useful model for preclinical pharmacology studies. The NCI seeks licensees for the TGF-ß reporter mouse.

Polymeric Delivery Platform for Therapeutics

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for a polymeric drug delivery platform that targets scavenger receptor A1 (SR-A1), a receptor highly expressed in macrophages, monocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells (myeloid lineages), and endothelial cells. The platform delivers various immunomodulatory therapeutic cargo including small molecule drugs, therapeutic peptides, and vaccines, to the lymphatic system and myeloid/antigen presenting cell (APC) sub-populations.

MRI-Based Method for Characterizing Axonal Microstructure in Traumatic Brain Injury

Researchers at the NICHD developed a method for non-invasively determining the distribution of pore lengths and radii within a matrix thereby characterizing cognitive defects observed in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The NICHD seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations to bring this invention to the public.

Methods of Determining Homeostatic Perturbations

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees to further develop and commercialize its methods of noninvasively and directly determining the absolute homeostatic state, metabolic activity, function, and viability of isolated cells, or tissues (ex vivo or in vivo), such as the Central Nervous System (CNS). The method uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurements of the rate at which endogenous water exchanges across cell membranes.

Margaric Acid Decreases PIEZO2 Mediated Pain

Investigators at the National Center for Complimentary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) and the University of Tennessee Health and Science Center have shown that administration of margaric acid can ameliorate pain induced by a variety of noxious stimuli in mice. In vitro and ex vivo studies in human and murine neural cells indicate that the mechanism of action of margaric acid is mediated by PIEZO2 (Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2) function. NCCIH seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for methods of using the fatty acid, margaric acid to treat pain.

Isotropic Generalized Diffusion Tensor MRI

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks research and co-development partners or licensees for an invention that discloses the diagnosis of pathologies in tissue related to changes in cell size, cellularity, cell infiltration, and other abnormalities detected by bulk water diffusion changes.

Human Research Information System (HuRIS)

Researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) seek licensing or co-development of a Human Research Information System (HuRIS) software that automates all major functions of a clinical-research entity. The system is designed for commercial healthcare providers, community treatment centers, and clinical research facilities.
