Topical treatment with TGFbeta3 to facilitate skin and corneal wound healing in diabetic patients

Background: Diabetes affects approximately 170 million people worldwide, including 20.8 million in the USA, and by 2030 these numbers are projected to double. Diabetics often experience slow or limited wound healing. Slow wound healing allows longer time for the development of infections and can contribute to the formation of bed sores and ulcers....

Dual action nanocarrier combining CXCR4 antagonist and polyplex gene delivery for treatment of metastatic cancer and other diseases

Novel bio-reducible polymer compositions which combine the ability to act as a CXCR4 antagonist and simultaneously provide enhanced gene delivery through the formation of inert nanocarrier polyplexes have been developed. As would be expected for biodegradable polymers, the cytotoxicity of these nanocarrier compositions are very low with measured IC50...

DNA Molecule Encoding the B3 Adrenegic Receptor

This technology describes the correct protein sequence of the β3 receptor to aid in the development of adult-onset diabetes drugs. Background & Unmet Need: The β3 receptor is currently being developed as a therapeutic target for human obesity and adult onset diabetes mellitus by several pharmaceutical companies. In order to develop...
