Proteins from Asthma-Protective Amish Farm Dust
This technology involves eight proteins that have been identified from fractions of Amish farm dust, which have been shown to protect against asthma in mice models. These eight proteins consist mainly of environmental allergens that can induce an immune response and have the potential to be utilized for allergen immunotherapy to help protect against...

A New Method for Preventing and/or Treating Asthma and Related Respiratory Conditions
This technology is an intranasal and/or inhaled therapeutic that consists of a bacterial extract. Initial studies have shown that it protects against characteristic asthma phenotypes such as airway hypperresponsiveness, bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophillia, and increased expression of type-2 cytokines in the lung. The therapy can protect against various...

Mouse Model of Human Asthma and Allergy
This technology is a collection of transgenic mouse lines that contain a human gene locus (TH2) that is involved in human asthma and allergy. This gene locus includes the Rad50, IL-13, and IL-4 genes. The first in the series of mouse lines contains wild-type locus of the genes. The second mouse line contains a series of polymorphisms that are found...

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...
