Monoclonal Antibodies Against PCDH7 for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths worldwide. UTHealth researchers discovered that the cell surface protein Protocadherin 7 (PCDH7) is highly expressed in NSCLC and promotes lung cancer development. Inventors at UTH in collaboration with Dr. O’Donnell’s group at UTSW have discovered a panel...

TREM2 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) plays a key regulatory role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by controlling microglia activation and metabolic activities in brain tissues. Previous studies in rodent models of AD have shown that mice with increased TREM2 expression have reduced amyloid pathology. UTHealth inventors created and...

Identifying and characterizing genes whose perturbation leads to intracranial aneurysms (IA) and/or vascular endothelial cell dysfunction

The proposed invention involves identification and characterization of molecular targets for treating intracranial aneurysms. A focus is endothelial podosomes regulated by the transmembrane receptor protein THSD1. THSD1 also regulates autophagy processes that contribute to aneurysm formation as well as positively regulates TGFβ signaling, which...

HER3 specific monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis and therapeutic use

BackgroundHER-3 is a receptor in the tyrosine kinase family that is a key oncogenic protein in breast cancer as well as other cancers. HER-3 is centrally involved in signaling leading to tumor growth and has been implicated in resistance to cancer treatments, making it an attractive target for cancer therapies. Several drugs, including some in clinical...

PocketPerio

BackgroundIn 2017, the updated classification of Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions was proposed and recommended for its use by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology. The proposed changes were summarized in 20 articles simultaneously published in the Journal of Periodontology and Journal...
