Super Sensitive Sensor For The Detection Of Hydroxyl Free Radicals in Food
Project ID: D2020-04 Background: Detection of free radicals (ROS) is vital in maintaining food safety as the estimated economic damage caused by the impact on food safety is $7 billion per year in the US. The presence of ROS causes devastating effects on the food as it leads to oxidation of proteins, breakage of oligonucleotides, or irreparable altering...
Super Sensitive Sensor for the Detection of Hydroxyl Free Radicals
Project ID: D2020-04 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are well known for their extreme reactivity. The impact of free radicals on medical and clinical fields is critical as hydroxyl radicals (OH) can be used as biomarkers for the detection of aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. Because certain types of free radicals are known...
Novel Composite Sensor for Detecting Free Radicals
Project ID: D2017-31Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection and measurement is frequently practiced in a broad range of medical and clinical settings. Free radicals are known to cause and/or exacerbate illnesses including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, ROS detection includes free radical trapping and fingerprinting methods....
Treatment of Ischemic Stroke with ROS-Sensitive Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitors
Project ID: D2018-11Background Nearly 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke every year, with about 87% of the strokes being classified as ischemic. Ischemic stroke is caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain, which results in neuronal and glial hypoxia and, subsequently, inflammatory and free radical-mediated cell death. Reactive...
