Biodegradable Nanofiber Conical Conduits for Targeted Muscle Reinnervation

Unmet NeedThere are 2 million amputees in the United States, with limb loss attributed to diabetes mellitus, vascular disease, trauma, and malignancy of bone and joints (Amputee Coalition, 2021 and Ziegler-Graham, et al., 2008). Living with an amputation and the adoption of assistive devices like prosthetics can be challenging, with chronic pain especially...

Immortalization of Nociceptive Dorsal Root Ganglion Sensory Neurons

Unmet need This invention involves a novel method to immortalize Nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. DRG neurons are terminally differentiated cells that extend long axons to their target tissues. More than half of all DRG neurons are unmyelinated axons that extend to the skin and have nociceptive properties. In many studies on peripheral...

Immortalized Human Schwann Cell Line

UNMET NEEDSchwann cells (SCs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of peripheral nerve diseases. However, use of primary human SCs (hSCs) for in vitro models is limited because these cells are difficult to prepare and maintain in high yield and purity under common cell culture conditions.FEATURESTo circumvent this obstacle, the inventor immortalized...

Ethoxyquin and Derivatives for Treatment of Peripheral Neuropathies and Other Neurodegenerative Disorders

Peripheral neuropathies are a group of neurodegenerative disorders affecting the peripheral nerves. Currently there is no effective therapy that prevents nerve degeneration except in cases of autoimmune peripheral neuropathies. Wehave now identified a compound, ethoxyquin (EQ), that prevents nerve degeneration in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy...
