A sound-based spirometer system including a spirometer and an electronic device having a microphone. The spirometer includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The spirometer generates a sound as an unknown amount of air passes from the air inlet to the air outlet. The sound is recordable by the microphone, and the electronic device processes the sound to determine the volume and flow rate of the unknown amount of air.
Compositions and methods for the inhibition of DNA polymerases. The methods and compositions as described herein are useful in the treatment of cancer. In particular, the present disclosure provides compositions comprising one or more of indole-derived compounds useful in treatment of cancers, including those which are resistant to genotoxic therapies.
The invention involves the discovery that if dendritic cells loaded with a tumor antigen are cultured in interleukin-15 (IL-15), or if T cells activated by the dendritic cells are cultured in IL-15, Treg activity that is specific for the tumor antigen is reduced. This reduction in Treg activity results in an increase in anti-tumor immune response. Another embodiment of the invention involves the discovery that incubating dendritic cells with a MAP kinase inhibitor in combination with IL-15 gives synergistic benefits when the dendritic cells are used to activate T cells. Dendritic cell and T cell compositions incubated with IL-15 or a MAP kinase inhibitor are provided.
BioVentures was established as a formal outgrowth of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences‘ (UAMS) interest in promoting a biomedical technology industry for Arkansas and translating its research into products that benefit human health.
UAMS established BioVentures to maximize global, industrial interaction with the University of Arkansas faculty, as well as to facilitate technology transfer, the development of startup companies that are based on technology developed at UAMS, and contributions to Arkansas’ economic development.
