Developing a reliable computational method to determine the allosteric sites to be targeted in finding non-aggregating allosteric inhibitors of PTP1B
Get PDFType 2 diabetes is a serious metabolic disease with a growing need for improved therapeutics. Traditional antidiabetic drugs can assist with the maintenance of blood glucose levels in diabetics but are not optimal treatments due to side effects. PTP1B is a validated therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes, as it acts as a negative regulator in the insulin signaling pathway. Inhibiting PTP1B may allow for increased insulin sensitivity, leading to glucose homeostasis and improved metabolism. In the past 3 allosteric sites were identified as targets for PTP1B inhibition. This study analyzes the validity of these sites and the possibility of other allosteric sites through computational methods, organic synthesis, and enzymatic assays. A new allosteric site is identified and used to improve a computational method for testing possible inhibitors of PTP1B

Force Characterization and Manufacturing of a Dynamic Unilateral Clubfoot Brace
Get PDFClubfoot is a musculoskeletal birth defect characterized by an inward twisting of an infant’s feet. Currently, a series of casts are used to correct the clubfoot, and a boots-and-bar brace is used to maintain the correction. However, this method has concerns with compliance, comfort, and social stigma. Hope Walks and their clinic in Kijabe, Kenya are interested in implementing a new maintenance brace that addresses these concerns. Mr. Jerald Cunningham, CPO, designed and is utilizing a unilateral clubfoot maintenance brace called the Cunningham Clubfoot Brace. He asserts his brace reduces treatment time, lessens social stigma, and increases child mobility. However, to date, there is not enough published research on its biomechanics and patient success rates to confirm his findings.
The Cunningham Clubfoot Brace Collaboratory project seeks to validate the effectiveness of the Cunningham design through biomedical testing and increase brace availability through sustainable manufacturing. To do this, the team is measuring the biomechanical forces applied by the brace with multiple force sensor systems and an infant foot model. The team is assisting Mr. Cunningham in his plans to use injection molding to increase brace production by scanning and creating CAD files of the brace. The team is also completing a failure and reuse analysis of the Cunningham Brace for the clinic in Kijabe. Furthermore, the ongoing clinical study at CURE International\u27s hospital in Kijabe, Kenya, and Dr. Emily Farrar’s research paper will provide greater insight into the effectiveness of the Cunningham Brace. These collaborative efforts will allow for further understanding of the effectiveness of the Cunningham Brace and its acceptance as an alternative clubfoot maintenance brace.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1001/thumbnail.jp
