Small Molecule Chaperones of CLN1 and CLN2
The inventors here have identified a method of treating Batten Disease with small molecules that target palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1), tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1), enzymes that are deficient and less active in Batten disease or Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis. The CLN1 and CLN2 genes regulate the production of these enzymes, respectively.

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...
