MYC Program as a biomarker of response to treatment with Enzalutamide
Invention Summary:
Administration of Enzalutamide has been shown to improve patient survival overall, yet patients respond differently to the drug with nearly half either not responding or developing resistance over time. Unfortunately, patients that fail Enzalutamide treatment are left with no targeted therapeutic option, and progress to...

Bioinformatic Methods for Determining Resistance to Cancer Treatments
Invention Summary:
Determining resistance to chemotherapy treatments for specific types of cancer (e.g., prostate, lung, breast, etc.,) as early as possible can prolong patients' lives by enabling them to be treated with other, and hopefully, more effective treatments as soon as possible.
Researchers at Rutgers University have...

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...

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...
