Rapid Response Vaccines for Emerging RNA Viruses
Scientists at NDSU have developed a method to rapidly produce safe and efficacious vaccines against emerging RNA viruses. This is accomplished by damaging or destroying the RNA genome (so replication is diminished or eliminated) while maintaining the structural integrity of the capsid so antibodies recognize the native virus. Therefore, NDSU's method...

New Concept and Strategy Targeting COX-2 and D5D mediated Omega-6 Fatty Acid Metabolism for Cancer Treatment
Cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) over-expression is a known marker for cancer cell initiation, growth, and consequent metastasis. COX-2 catalyzes the oxidation of omega-6 fatty acid - arachidonic acid, producing metabolites such as prostaglandins that are known to initiate various cancers. Scientists at North Dakota State University have developed an anti-cancer...

Low-cost, Disposable Device for Manufacture CAR T-Cells for Therapy
Scientists at NDSU have developed a small device for improved CAR T cell production, which speeds the turnaround time by enabling CAR T cell production 'on-site' at a hospital or cancer clinic. This simple, microfluidic device is easy to make and use, with an automated transfection process that takes about one hour. Because this process takes...

Detection and Quantification of miRNA/proteins/DNA in Body Fluids at Point-of-Care Settings
Clinicians have long struggled with the detection of low-abundance biomarkers in body fluids. Additionally, there is an ever-growing demand for increased sensitivity and high throughput in detection and quantification techniques. To overcome these issues, researchers at NDSU have developed a novel apparatus to quantify low levels of biomarkers in biological...
