PEG Nanocarriers, Nanogels
and Synthesis Methods
Invention Summary:
A novel platform of PEG-only nanocarriers and nanogels has been developed by Rutgers scientists. The nanocarriers can be used from 100Da-100- kDa and are capable of forming stable nanogels and nanogel aggregates in a variety of sizes from 20-30nm up to >1000nm. The carriers and gels have improved solubility over existing technologies...

A New Method to Enhance Lung Cancer Treatment
Invention Summary:
Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Small molecule Tyrosine Kinase (TK) Inhibitors acting on the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors (EGFRs) are standard therapies for patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR-TK inhibitor-sensitizing mutations. However, fewer than 10 % of patients with NSCLC benefit...

Doxycycline Loaded Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogels for Healing Vesicant-Induced Ocular Wounds
Invention Summary:
Rutgers scientists have invented a method of loading poly (ethylene glycol) hydrogels with doxycycline to treat vesicant-induced (i.e. sulfur mustard gas) ocular wounds. The effectiveness of doxycycline, an FDA approved drug in humans, was previously limited in ocular treatment due to tear washing on the eye’s surface. The...
