Growth Factor Loaded Nanofibers for Wound Healing

The nanofibers are loaded with a pair of growth factors that promote efficient wound healing through sustained activation of select pathways Background An average of 2% of the total United States population have chronic wounds, but current treatments are inadequate. We’re developing new ways to heal chronic wounds by using electrospun nanofibers...

Marine Probiotic

Technology Description A newly identified marine bacterium strain useful as an aquaculture probiotic. Preliminary inhibition assays demonstrate that full cell culture and cell-free culture supernatant of the probiotic are sufficient to inhibit growth of the following Vibrio species: V. coralliilyticus (oysters and corals), V. parahaemolyticus (seafood-borne...
