Leukemia Inhibitor Factor as a Radioprotectant for Gastrointestinal Injury Following Cancer Radiotherapy
LIF protects mice from Ionizing radiation:
survival is measured in control group without treatment (WT) vs. those treated with LIF (WT + LIF).
Invention Summary:
Currently there is no effective therapy for prevention or treatment of radiation therapy-induced gastrointestinal (GI) tract injury.
Rutgers researchers have recently discovered that...

UAV-based Delivery of Solid Insecticide
Invention Summary: Mosquito borne diseases constitute more than half a billion illnesses and over a million deaths yearly. Wide-scale mosquito pesticide and larvicide dispersion (e.g., aerial dispersion) is no longer a viable option due to 1) posing public health concerns, and 2) urban area expansion into mosquito habitats, making mosquito control untenable....

New Non-Membrane Feeding Device And Diet Formulation For Mosquito Colony Production
Efficacy of artificial diets (BSA 10% and BSA 20%) for 10 generations of Aedes albopictus mosquito. These diets were prepared with distilled water and used in the new dietary system. For the blood feeding, the live guinea pig was used as a control. Mosquito feeding status on the new dietary system. (A) unfed, (B) half fed and (C) full fed. Arrow shows...

Autodissemination of an Insect-Growth Regulator for Mosquito Management
Invention Summary:Rutgers scientists have developed an insecticide (e.g, pyriproxyfen) autodissemination station that topically contaminates oviposition-seeking mosquitoes in such a manner that the mosquitoes then bring the active control agent back to their breeding locations for control of container-inhabiting mosquitoes in urban environments, particularly...
