  • Methods to Identify Leaky Gut Syndrome
    Publication number: 20200110089
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention provides A method for detecting or identifying a leaky gut syndrome in a patient, comprising providing a sample of a GI barrier of the patient; analyzing the sample to determine the status of the GI barrier; and categorizing the patient GI barrier status as normal or abnormal, wherein an abnormal GI barrier status identifies the patient as having leaky gut syndrome. In some embodiments, the patient is human.

  • Surface-coated structures and methods
    Patent number: 9096775
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a methods and composition in which a D-form or retro-inverso Pseudomonas pilin peptide is bound to a substrate. The disclosed methods and composition are useful for inhibiting biofilm formation by non-Pseudomonas bacteria, for reducing the inflammatory response to a material, for reducing corrosion of metals, and in biosensor applications.

  • Surface-coated structures and methods
    Patent number: 8961984
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for covalently attaching a compound to a stainless steel, tin, iron, or titanium substrate, by contacting exposed surface(s) of the substrate with a synthetic pilin peptide containing a disulfide loop derived from the C-terminal receptor binding protein of Type IV P. aeruginosa (T4P) pilin, to bind the pilin peptide to the exposed surface(s), and covalently attaching the compound to the pilin peptide. Also disclosed are a substrate formed by the method and a biosensor device that uses the uses. Also disclosed are methods for improving the corrosion resistance, adhesive force, hardness and electron work function of certain metals.
