Portable Breath Gas Analysis System for Detecting Pulmonary Aspiration

34004 – Low-cost, noninvasive, point-of-care system quickly detects aspiration in dysphasia patients. Researchers at the University of Central Florida have invented a fast and simple way to quickly detect pulmonary aspiration in patients with dysphasia (difficulty swallowing) or other conditions that put them at risk for aspiration-related illnesses. Pulmonary aspiration occurs when people inhale... Read More

Polyamine Transport Inhibitors to Activate an Anti-Tumor Immune Response

34180 – New immunotherapy targets polyamine metabolism in tumors. Researchers at UCF and the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research have synthesized new anti-cancer small molecules that block polyamine uptake and activate the anti-tumor immune response. Many tumors require high levels of polyamines to support their growth and survival. Additionally, high levels of polyamines can suppress the... Read More
