Targeting CD44-Moesin Interactions with Small Molecules for Alzheimer’s Disease
This technology is a small molecule compound that could serve as a potential therapeutic for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The compound binds to Moesin, a protein that is associated with AD. It targets interactions between Moesin and CD44, an antigen that also has been shown to be a biomarker for AD. Targeting CD44 and Moesin interactions has proved...

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...
