A novel inhibitory mimetic peptide
slows down tumor development
Inhibitory peptide increases caspase3 activity (A) by blocking GC1/Trx1 complex thereby limiting cell proliferation by inducing cell death (B).
Invention Summary:
Soluble guanylyl cyclase (GC1) and thioredoxin 1 (Trx1), when physically interacting and attaching to each other, they acquire the ability to induce changes in other target...

Off-the-Shelf CAR-Macrophages for Solid Tumors
Invention Summary:
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) therapy requires isolation of the respective immune cells from the patient’s blood, genetic manipulation, and infusion of the modified cells back into the patient’s body. This makes it personalized and effective but expensive. The CAR-T (modified T cells) therapy has shown...

Method for Generating Memory T-cells In Vitro and Their Use in Immunotherapy
Invention Summary:
Dendritic cell-based immunotherapies have been tested for the treatment of cancer patients with limited success. The limited success is probably due to the ineffective activation of specific T-cells by injected dendritic cells. In vitro generation of memory T-cells that can respond to cancer cells could circumvent ineffective T-cell...

Biomarkers for Identifying Patients at High Risk of Progressing
from Barrett’s Esophagus to Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Invention Summary:
Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has a poor prognosis with a 5-year overall survival of 15-20%. In the past 3 decades, the incidence of EAC increased 600-800%. Barrett’s esophagus (BE), the precancerous lesion for EAC, has approximately 0.11 to 1.6% annual rate of progression to EAC. Currently, the guidelines for BE surveillance...
