Point-of-care monitoring of blood coagulation time via 'Surface Acoustic Waves' (SAW)

Scientists from Goethe University Frankfurt developed a new mobile device to determine ad-hoc coagulation times from full-blood samples utilizing “surface acoustic waves”. This coagulation time is of high importance e.g. during emergency situations when the coagulation status of a patient under anticoagulant therapy needs rapid evaluation.

Modulators of sphingolipid signaling for the treatment of multiple sclerosis

The agonistic prodrug Fingolimod (FTY720) en-abled the first oral treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis by modulating sphin-golipid signaling. Scientists developed novel Fingolimod non-prodrug derivatives, which re-duce the blood-brain-barrier leakage and blood T lymphocytes. Advantageously one derivative is fully active in the absence of sphingosine ki-nase 2 while exhibiting comparable activity to Fingolimod.
