The toTIL Score is an innovative scoring system designed to predict the likelihood of cancer patients responding to immunotherapy based on the level of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) within the tumour. By evaluating the extent and distribution of TIL infiltration, the toTIL Score provides a...

The novel aspect of this patented technology lies in the specific combination of a functionalised nanocarrier ( A single-walled carbon nanotube with polyethylene glycol), targeting moiety (folic acid), and unique plant extract compounds (which and known for their medicinal properties and potential...

Stellenbosch’s solution is a 2-component injectable hydrogel designed to block the vas deferens, thus preventing the passage of sperm cells. Unlike a vasectomy, this hydrogel is reversible, restoring fertility.

The hydrogel is formulated from two aqueous polymer solutions with complementary reactive...

The technology integrates melatonin with bio-identical estrogen to counteract the pro tumorigenic effects associated with estrogen. The research conducted demonstrated that combining melatonin with estrogen diminishes estrogen’s proliferative impact on breast cancer cells and attenuates their...

The CREDO (CartRidge Extractor DiagnOsis) Device is a device designed to safely and sterilely remove fluid remaining after assay completion from used cartridges (this used cartridge would otherwise be discarded). This fluid can be useful for downstream applications (these downstream tests could be...

Nanosene (Pty) Ltd‘s technology centres around the development of polymer tools tailored for membrane proteins (MP) drug target research. Unlike existing solutions, Nanosene’s polymers are optimised to isolate MPs, with the added benefit of customisation possibilities. This technology enables the...

The increasing interest in traditional medicine (TM) herbs for chronic disease treatment has led to significant research into plant-based therapeutics with antioxidant properties. One plant of particular interest is Leonotis leonurus, a South African TM plant, of which leaves have been extensively...
