Therapeutic Target to Attenuate Virus-Mediated Arthritis and Improve Immunity
This invention includes methods and pharmaceutics used to treat alphavirus infections by inhibiting specific cytokine production. These cytokines impair the immune response to the infection and causes inflammation, so its inhibition hastens recovery and diminishes symptom severity.
Background:
Varying immune response to alphaviral infections (specifically...

Serological Assays for SARS-CoV-2
University of Arizona researchers have developed a serological assay to test for prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2. The technology uses a two-step protocol to maximize the specificity of the assay and reduce false positives.
Background:
In late 2019, a novel coronavirus appeared in Wuhan, China. Since that time, this virus has spread worldwide, impacting...

Distributed Feedback Fiber Laser Pumped by Multimode Diode Lasers
Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences and Canada's Carleton University recently succeeded in fabricating high reflectivity (>99%) Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) into phosphate glass fibers using UV light and a phase mask technique. With this new manufacturing technique, fiber lasers can be created as single monolithic...

All-Fiber Multicore Fiber Laser Devices
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a compact, power-scalable, alignment-free fiber laser that takes a new approach to stabilizing phase-locked operation of multi-core fiber lasers by completely removing all free space optical components. This high-brightness, all-fiber laser package uses passive optical fiber spliced at both ends...
